Question
What is UV Coating?
Answer
UV coating is a shiny, high-gloss coating applied to printed material and then cured with an ultraviolet light, which is where the UV name comes from. The light hardens the coating almost instantly for a smooth, protective, glass-like finish.
- Look: a bright, reflective, high-gloss surface that makes colors pop.
- Protection: adds resistance to scuffs, smudges, and fingerprints.
- Full or spot: can flood the whole sheet or be applied only to select areas as spot UV.
- Good for: business cards, postcards, and covers that need durability and shine.
