Frequently Asked Questions
The black isn't what gets printed, it's a marker that tells the printer exactly where to apply the clear UV coating. Using solid 100% K black in that layer, rather than a mix of colours or a lighter shade, avoids any ambiguity about where the gloss should and shouldn't go.
Spot UV is applied with more precision than foil stamping, since it's a coating process rather than a heat and pressure stamping process, so it can be registered far more accurately to your design. That's why fine detail works better with spot UV than with foil, since the tighter tolerance means less risk of it drifting off the intended area.
It's a clear, glossy varnish applied only to specific areas of the card, not a sticker or a separate material. Once cured, it sits raised very slightly above the matte surface around it, which is what creates that contrast between the shiny UV area and the flat background when you tilt the card in the light.
It can go over a photo, but the effect is more noticeable and more commonly used over solid shapes, logos or text, since the gloss versus matte contrast reads more clearly against a flat colour than a busy image. If you do want it over a photo, keep in mind the whole covered area will read as UV rather than highlighting just part of the image.
This particular product is built around the matte background and gloss UV contrast rather than a soft touch finish, so the two aren't combined on this listing. If soft touch lamination is what you're after, the standard business cards range offers that as a separate finish option.
