What is Spot UV?

• Ultimate Shine / Very Shiny

With some different techniques, printers can create different results. It works best with thicker card stock, so it is most commonly used for

thicker business cards (16pt, 18pt+), premium stocks like: (Silk laminated and Velvet laminated) or custom printed flyers. The “spot” part refers to the ability to apply this technique to only parts of a card; it is mainly used for a decorative effect. It can deepen or darken the color of areas it’s applied too, this thought should be weighed during the design of a product.  At Elite Flyers, we have created a tutorial that will walk you through the process of setting up your mask files. You can always contact one of our Elite customer service representatives with questions. There are a variety of products available that allows you to include this beautiful clear finish.

What is a Mask File for Printing?

How to make spot uv effect, Creating a Mask for Your Spot UV Coated Printing Project:

Printed products including special features like Spot UV, Raised Spot UV, Stamped Foil, Full Color Foil, or White Ink all require for the feature layer to be set up as a mask file. When placing an order for a printed product that requires a mask file, you must include a 100%K (Black) template file along with your regular full color print file. This mask file is used as a template to show where the spot uv (shiny gloss) feature will be printed on the product. White areas of the mask file indicate that the feature should not be printed on that area. Basically, everything that is black will be spot uv and everything that is white will be matte, silk or velvet. For the best results, we recommend submitting your print mask file as a vector file. Yes, you may submit .pdf .jpg. and .eps files for printing spot uv business cards and flyers. If you have any questions when setting up your mask file, please contact our elite customer service team. They are always happy to assist! You can also watch out tutorial walking you through the process on how to set up your mask file.
