Question
Is raised spot UV a good choice for text-heavy designs?
Answer
Raised spot UV shines on bold design elements rather than dense blocks of text. It holds cleanest on larger shapes, so it is a great way to spotlight the parts of your design that matter most.
- Great for: logos, large headlines, graphic patterns, and borders.
- Struggles with: small text below about 8pt, which does not hold the raised coating cleanly.
- Smart approach: coat your logo and one key element instead of every line of copy.
Treating raised spot UV as an accent rather than an all-over coating keeps the effect crisp and the piece easy to read.
