High-Gloss UV Coating
- None: If the product is ordered in high quantities (1000 or more) or printed on the offset press, the product will include free Gloss AQ coating, which protects the surface of the paper from dirt, smudges, fingerprints and scratch and improves durability of the print product. It is placed inline while the paper is on the press.
- Yes, on outside cover (100lb gloss cover only): UV Gloss is shiny clear coating that resembles a lamination and protects cards from scratches. It also enhances the density of colors to give photographs a rich look. However, you cannot write on a business card with UV gloss coating. UV coating also tends to show fingerprints on dark solid background colors.
