Question
What type of files do you accept for Spot UV Business Cards?
Answer
For Spot UV Business Cards, a print-ready PDF is preferred because it holds your layout and color cleanly. Other common formats are accepted as well, and Spot UV also needs a separate Black Mask file to place the gloss.
| File type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Preferred, print-ready | |
| JPG | Accepted |
| TIFF | Accepted |
| EPS | Accepted |
Along with your main artwork, include a Black Mask file that marks exactly where you want the Spot UV gloss applied, and set everything up at full print resolution with proper bleed.
On the mask, fill every Spot UV area with solid 100% black (K).
