How can I get the best results with Raised Spot UV business cards |
For the best Raised Spot UV results, follow these guidelines:
Keep UV coverage under 30% of the total card area. If too much of the card is covered with raised UV, cards can stick together and the effect loses its impact. Up to 70% coverage is acceptable only with patterns, thin strokes, or small shapes — not large solid areas. Ideally, no single raised UV area should exceed about 1 inch by 1 inch.
Your mask file must be vector artwork created in a vector-based program like Adobe Illustrator. Raster or bitmap masks will not produce the sharp, clean edges you need. Use solid 100% black in your mask file for UV areas and white for non-UV areas.
Following these guidelines ensures your Raised Spot UV cards come out crisp, tactile, and professional.
