What is textured spot UV printing?
Textured spot UV involves applying a special coating to a printed item, which is then cured with UV light. The “spot” part of this embellishment refers to the ability to apply the coating to select portions rather than an entire sheet, which creates a raised texture.
The UV coating layer is treated as a fifth color that gets applied in an additional machine after the CMYK layer is printed. The spot UV machine is in the same printing line, so these textures can be added quickly and without significant additional labor.
Spot UV textures can evoke the feeling of leather, wood, sand, cloth—the possibilities are vast.
This video from our partner Duplo shows you cool examples of textured spot UV and illustrates how this game-changing technology works.
