The spot UV artwork should consist of solid black shapes - 100% K only and in the exact position on the page where the spot UV is required, ideally in vector as opposed to bitmap formula. The Spot UV must be on a separate page and have the same dimensions and crop marks in the same position as the printed file.
Spot UV works well on larger areas and as a pattern on a flat background.
PLEASE NOTE: Spot UV varnish is applied using a process similar to screen printing, and has registration tolerances of approximately ±0.5 mm. It is not therefore recommended that small text or thin lines are spot UV'd as perfect register cannot be guaranteed.
