]]>If you're looking for a way to make your designs stand out and capture the attention of your audience, spot UV printing might be just what you need. This popular printing technique can add a glossy, raised layer to specific areas of a design, creating a tactile and visually striking effect that can elevate your designs to the next level.
Here are some of the key benefits of using spot UV printing in your designs:
Creates contrast: By adding a glossy, raised layer to specific areas of a design, spot UV printing can create a striking contrast between the matte finish of the paper and the glossy finish of the spot UV. This contrast can help draw the viewer's eye to important elements of the design, such as logos, text, and graphics.
Enhances visual appeal: Spot UV printing can also enhance the visual appeal of a design by adding a high-shine finish that creates a sense of depth and texture. This can be particularly effective for designs that feature complex patterns or textures, as the glossy finish can help bring these elements to life.
Adds a tactile element: In addition to its visual benefits, spot UV printing can also add a tactile element to a design. By creating a raised, glossy layer, spot UV printing can create a textural contrast that engages the senses and makes the design more memorable.
Creates a high-end look and feel: Spot UV printing can also be used to create a sense of luxury and sophistication in a design. By adding a glossy, raised layer to specific areas of a design, spot UV printing can create a high-end look and feel that reflects the quality of the product or service being promoted.
Versatility: Spot UV printing is a versatile technique that can be used on a wide range of materials, including paper, cardstock, and even some plastics. This makes it a great choice for a variety of designs, from business cards and brochures to packaging and labels.
When using spot UV printing in your designs, it's important to keep in mind that less is often more. Too much spot UV can overwhelm the design and detract from its overall impact, so it's best to use it selectively to highlight key elements and create a sense of contrast and texture.
In conclusion, spot UV printing is a powerful tool for designers who want to create visually striking and memorable designs. By adding a glossy, raised layer to specific areas of a design, spot UV printing can enhance the visual appeal of a design, create a tactile element, and add a sense of luxury and sophistication. So why not give it a try and see how it can take your designs to the next level?

Spot UV printing
Spot UV printing is a popular printing technique that adds a shiny, raised layer to specific areas of a printed piece. This process can be used to enhance the visual appeal of a design, draw attention to important elements, or create a tactile effect that engages the senses.
The process of spot UV printing involves applying a special type of varnish to specific areas of the printed piece. This varnish is then cured using ultraviolet (UV) light, which creates a raised, glossy finish. The result is a striking contrast between the matte finish of the paper and the glossy finish of the spot UV.
Spot UV printing differs from other printing techniques in several ways. First, it is a post-press process that is typically applied after the printing is complete, rather than during the printing process itself. This means that it can be added to a printed piece regardless of the printing technique that was used to create it.
Second, spot UV printing is a versatile technique that can be used to achieve a variety of effects. For example, it can be used to create a subtle, textured effect by applying a light coat of varnish, or a bold, high-contrast effect by applying a heavier coat of varnish.
Finally, spot UV printing is a cost-effective way to add visual interest to a printed piece. Because it can be applied selectively, it can be used to highlight specific elements of a design without the need for additional printing plates or inks.
In conclusion, spot UV printing is a powerful tool for designers and marketers who want to create printed pieces that stand out from the crowd. By adding a glossy, raised layer to specific areas of a design, spot UV printing can enhance the visual appeal of a printed piece and create a memorable, tactile experience for the viewer.

It sounds harsh but it’s a fact that people often do judge a book by its cover, and you only get one shot to make a great first impression.
Fortunately there are a few tricks you can pull off, such as diverting their attention from the fact that you forgot to iron your shirt by pushing a unique and beautifully designed business card under their nose.
It’s always a great idea to carry some self-promotional material in your pocket, whether you’re attending a conference where networking is key, or for instances when you bump into an old friend who is now a possible business partner. Having said that, card should also be designed well enough to leave a good impression. Below is a list of essential tips to keep in mind when designing the perfect business card.
1. The Issue Of Size And Colour
. The most common card size is 90 mm x 55 mm, so the best document size to work on is 1039 x 697 pixels; remember that you need to take Bleed (more on this after the break) into account. Ensure any images you use are at least 300dpi for a high quality result. It’s a good idea to work in CMYK colour mode as opposed to RGB. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta,Yellow and Black (Black is known as Key), and is used in colour. CMYK is a subtractive colour model, which works by masking colours on a light or white background, reducing the amount and colour of the light that is reflected by the paper.
The display you are using to read this article adopts an RGB or additive colour model, mixing Red, Green and Blue to create the majority of the visible spectrum, and combining all three to create white. While some designers prefer to design in RGB, be sure to preview it in CMYK as some of your chosen colours may appear fine on screen, but ‘muddy’ when printed.
Unless your design background colour is white you need to prepare the Bleed area for your card design. Preparing the Bleed (yes, it sounds like a heavy metal band) involves highlighting an area surrounding the document, usually 3 mm thick (this may vary depending on the printing company) with the same colour as the background colour of your card design. This prevents any ugly border strips from turning up on the edge of the cards.
In fact, it’s best to try to avoid using borders on your business card designs at all. They may look good, but when the cards are cut, you will most likely have some ‘lop-sided’ edges. All printers have a margin of error for cutting your cards, which can be as much as a few millimetres, so expect some variance in the area where the blade falls. What you see on screen:
What you may receive:
Notice how the the borders disappear when the blades do not cut at the right places? A few millimetres can make all the difference to your card design.
Choose colours that are aesthetically pleasing. A mish-mash of bright and bold colours may make your card stand out in a stack of 50, but it could be for the wrong reasons. It’s also worthwhile to think beyond your business cards: try to keep your colour scheme consistent throughout your media (website, twitter, email signature) to develop a professional image of yourself.
There are plenty of tools available on the Web to help you create the perfect scheme. COLOURlovers is a community-driven website where people can create colour palettes and allow others to vote and comment on them. It’s a great source of inspiration, with some impressive tools to boot.
This is a pretty vital (nd sometimes overlooked) element in business card design. You wouldn’t want your clients to have to strain their eyes to read your website address or email. Make sure your text is at least 8 pt, in a clear readable font and in bold colour. Anything smaller than 8 pt may look fine on your monitor, but may be printed as a fuzzy, smudged-out line. You could also try to accentuate your name or important contact information by making it slightly bigger or bolder than the rest of your information.
6. Include Important Information
Make sure you include all the information on the back of your card that you think the client would find useful. We’ve provided a quick checklist, but you may have other things you want to throw in as well.]]>
Preparing a competitive proposal on a print job can be extremely difficult without relevant and accurate specifications.
What are PMS colours?
Colours created without screens or dots, such as those found in the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®, are referred to as spot or solid colours. From a palette of 14 basic colours, each of the spot colours in the PANTONE MATCHING System is mixed according to its own unique ink mixing formula. Each colour in the System has a unique name or number followed by either a C for Coated paper, U for Uncoated paper or M for Matte paper. Also created without screens, PANTONE metallic and pastel colours are considered part of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM.
What is four colour process?
The method of achieving colour in printing is referred to as CMYK, four–color process or just process. To reproduce a colour image, a file is separated into four different colours: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K). During separation, screen tints comprised of small dots are applied at different angles to each of the four colours. The screened separations are then transferred to four different printing plates, one for each colour, and run on a printing press with one colour overprinting the next. The composite image fools the naked eye with the illusion of continuous tone.
What colour is my job?
When preparing a proposal it is necessary to know if your job will be printed in four colour process or PMS. If PMS colours are to be used, specific PMS numbers or a previously printed sample must be supplied in order to match the colour as closely as possible allowing for paper variants. Corporate colours are crucial to the branding of many companies, so getting the colour right the first time for your customer requires accurate specifications.
