Varnishing

There a 3 main types of varnishing to give a great finish.

Gloss Varnish can enhance the appearance of printed photographs as the coating reflects the light and makes colours appear richer and more vivid. Matte Varnish gives the printed surface a non-glossy, smooth look.  Silk Varnish offers the ‘middle ground’ between the two.

Machine Sealing is an invisible coating applied to a printed item by the printer. It does not affect the appearance of the job, but as it ‘seals’ the ink under a protective coat, the printer need not wait so long for the job to be dry enough to handle.

Spot UV Varnish is applied to chosen areas of a printed piece. This has the affect of highlighting and drawing attention to that part of the design, but it also provides the additional visual stimulus of having varied textures on a single printed surface.
