Does UV coating change the color of my design?

UV coating adds a clear glossy layer, so it does not change your ink colors themselves. What it does change is how those colors read: the gloss can make coated areas look slightly more saturated and vivid.

• No color shift: the coating is clear, so your ink stays true.
• More apparent vibrancy: gloss makes coated areas appear a little richer and more vivid.
• Built-in contrast: that difference against matte surroundings is part of the appeal and makes UV elements pop.

So rather than altering your palette, UV coating simply gives the treated areas extra shine and punch.
