Question
Does finish type change the cost of printing?
Answer
Finishes change price too. Basic coatings are cheap, while specialty finishes add cost for the extra passes and materials they need.
| Finish | Cost |
|---|---|
| Gloss or matte coating | Most affordable |
| Soft touch lamination | Moderate step up |
| Spot UV, raised foil, embossing | Highest, extra passes and materials |
- Standard coatings barely move the price
- Specialty finishes raise the per piece cost
- They also make a piece stand out, so the upgrade often pays for itself
