OVERALL GLOSS UV COATING is standard on all our 14 and 16 point card stock. UV coating is a clear liquid spread over the paper like ink and then cured instantly with ultraviolet light. UV coating gives more protection and sheen than either aqueous coating or varnish. Since it is cured with light and not heat, no solvents enter the atmosphere so it is environmentally friendly.

MATTE / DULL COATING is available on all jobs printed on 14 or 16 point card stock. Matte coating creates a flat smooth look that reflects less light than glossy coatings. It removes the glare and is very effective over type. Use matte coating for a more subtle,quite effect.

SPOT UV COATING is a great option for giving your printed piece the WOW FACTOR! Spot UV highlights and draws attention to a selected area by creating a visual stimulus to draw the eye. It enhances the value and give the impression of importance and quality to the finished piece.

SILVER (PMS 877) or COLORED METALLICS (available 5/0, 5/1,
5/4, 5/5) can be used on all cards. It creates a very unique and exciting look to distinguish you from your competition.Can be used in type, background or a boarder. It's sure to get your card noticed.

FAQ and FILE REQUIREMENTS

Be sure to read our FAQ and FILE REQUIREMENTS to avoid common production problems. Remember that you are responsible for supplying correct printing files. No one can print a great job using bad files. Use print industry standard software programs such as Photoshop, In Design, Illustrator, and Quark Express- if possible. We do our best to help whenever possible to correct files but we can't help you make last minute changes if you use an obscure or free online design program. Make sure all your files are 300 dpi and cymk.
The printing process uses CYMK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) to make all the possible colors that can be printed. RGB files must be converted to cymk and this conversion can change color. It's best to start out using CYMK so you can actually see the color you are using. If you are not sure about what you are doing, give us a call. Our professional team may be able to set you on the correct course. We are here for you.
