What is UV or Ultra Violet Coating?
UV coating, 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.
What are the Benefits of UV Coatings?
Ultraviolet coating has several advantages over other coating methods such as aqueous coating or varnish.
They include:
Very high shine finish
When UV is used on deep, rich colors, like blues and rich blacks, the result is an almost wet appearance. This can be highly effective with image-rich projects, like catalogs. The stunning shine it creates is why it is so popular for certain designs and products.
Good abrasion resistance
If your printed piece is going to be handed out or travel through the mail, the combination of a visually appealing piece and durability makes for a great combo for postcards, brochures or business cards. The UV coating allows the mailed piece to resist smudging and marking and allows it to maintain a professional, high quality appearance due to an extremely hard finish, one known for being both chemical and abrasion resistant
High clarity
UV coatings make details pop and stand out, and are perfect for photographic images and company logos.
Environmentally friendly
UV coatings are free of solvents and do not emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs when cured.
Instantaneous drying time with UV light exposure
By drying so quickly, the use of UV coating helps reduce production time, enabling earlier shipping and delivery times.
When is UV Coating Not the Best Option?
While UV coating works great for a wide variety of printed pieces, there are a number of instances where UV coating is not a good fit.
· When using Metallic Inks
· On text weight paper under 100#
· When the piece has Foil Stamping
· Anything that needs to be written on
· The addressed portion of a mailing piece
