Question
What is the maximum coverage percentage allowed for Raised Spot UV printing?
Answer
Raised spot UV works best as an accent rather than a full flood. Keeping the coated area under about 30 percent of the design gives the cleanest, most reliable result.
- Stay under about 30% coverage of the total design for best results.
- Why the limit exists: too much raised coating can make cards stick together and clump during production.
- Where to place it: concentrate the raised UV on logos, accents, and highlights rather than large solid fills.
Treating raised spot UV as a selective highlight, not a background, keeps both the look and the production run trouble-free.
