What is UV Coating or Ultra Violet Coating?
UV coating, or ultraviolet coating, is a very glossy, shiny coating applied to the printed paper surface and cured on a special machine using ultraviolet light. These special UV coatings harden, or cure when they receive ultra violet radiation.
UV coating makes your printed piece eye catching, and is perfect for products such as postcards, hand-out sheets, presentation folders, business cards and catalogs, or any product that can benefit from a rich, glossy and dramatic look.
A printed page with UV coating applied can be very shiny or flattened to a matte finish.
Matte is a flat satin finish that doesn’t show fingerprints and makes colors appear more vibrant.
