Question
Line Art and Text Recommendations for Spot UV and Foil
Answer
Spot Gloss and Foil are registration-sensitive finishes applied on top of the print, so very fine detail can fill in or drop out. Keeping type and strokes above the minimums helps the effect land cleanly.
| Element | Recommended minimum |
|---|---|
| Font size | 10pt or larger |
| Line stroke thickness | At least 1pt |
- Use 10pt size or larger for fonts so the finish reads clearly.
- Keep line strokes at least 1pt thick to avoid broken or patchy effects.
- Avoid ultra-thin serifs and tiny detail in the areas you want gloss or foil on.
