Product Information
Spot varnish
To soften text and artwork it is preferable to use matt or silk varnish. For specific gloss effects, spot UV is preferable (see below).
Spot uv
High-gloss finish printed on, then cured with UV, is a real eye-catcher and can be spot-printed or non-localised, as well as texturised.
Fragrant varnishes
Sometimes referred to as ‘scratch and sniff’, these add a scented effect to selected areas of the page. Still considered somewhat exotic in the UK market it is therefore classed as a specialised product.
