Your UV coverage must be less than 30% if you want the best results. Else, the cards may get stuck together. Also, use the vector-based program to create mask-file. The acceptable area with thin strokes, patterns or small shapes is 70%. It must not exceed 1” × 1”.
Both Spot UV jobs and Raised Spot UV jobs can be set up the same way. You should include a mask file for Raised Spot UV with the regular print file if you want to create a Raised Spot UV job. Make sure you’ve created the mask file in vector-based programs for example illustrator. The Raised Spot UV mask file will show where to apply the UV coating. But, use solid 100% K that will indicate where you want the UV. Avoid using glows, shadows or grayscale images. White represents no UV.
Foil mask files are set up just like our Spot UV mask files. The file can only be black and white. All black areas should be 100k or only 100% black with no other colors added. Black in the areas you want the foil and white in the areas you do not want the foil. If you order a Foil Worx job with Spot UV, you must provide separate mask files for the Foil (foil mask) and UV (spuv mask), in that case up to 6 files will need to be provided. However, please keep in mind that the Foil … Read more
Spot UV is a shiny layer with a flat finish. It goes precisely in the place where you’d want your piece to have a glossy coating. The Raised Spot UV is same as Spot UV. But, the applied UV stands out that you’ll feel it if you touch the card. It is raised to a depth of 50 microns.
Raised spot UV designs generally have a depth of 50 microns. That is enough to be able to feel the raised detailing on a card. With spot UV, you could highlight certain elements of your business card, such as the logo, image, brand name, and others.
When creating a Spot UV job, You must include a Spot UV template file along with the regular full color file. The Spot UV template file is used to show where the UV will be placed. NORMAL CMYK PRINT FILE SPOT UV TEMPLATE FILE Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the UV. White will indicate no UV. REMEMBER “IF IT’S WHITE, YOU CAN WRITE!”
As you may have heard, UV coating refers to applying a clear liquid coat over printed designs. This is treated under ultraviolet light, drying it instantly. For some designs, spot UV is done instead. This is where you apply the UV coating only on specific areas of the printed design. You don’t have to coat the entire paper surface. The same drying process is used, but the depth effect you get is more focused on certain elements of your card. For example, if you want to highlight your logo, spot UV on the edges could give it a luxurious sheen. … Read more
You are advised not to use font-size lesser than 6pt. But, if you have thicker strokes, use size no less than 9pt.
You’ll have an option of adding white ink as overprint. It will act as a base for CMYK and provide a bright and white surface. It gives a vibrant and crisp color. However, areas with no white ink may appear darker. It is because of the stock’s color. The white mask files are different from the artwork files like spot UV masks. The black color shows where the white ink will get printed. You must create the mask file and color art file of the same size. This ensures that there are no alignment issues at the time of printing. … Read more

UV or foil stamping may not have the truly tactile feature of an embossed pattern, but just like embossing, they are effective if you want to highlight certain images or details on your card. Embossing involves creating a raised 3D effect on the stock using a metal die. The embossed elements are raised on one side and recessed on the other. This is an expensive process, but it can give a card that custom elegant look. UV or foil stamping is the process of applying a layer of foil on top of your card surface. Meanwhile, spot UV is where … Read more
Embossing and debossing are design processes where you either raise or recess certain images on your material. Let’s discuss these two further. Embossing involves raising a logo or image to create a 3D raised effect. This is achieved using a metal die and stock (paper). The die is cut into whatever image you want, then pressed onto the stock like a stamp. The die can either be single-level or multi-level depending on the depth your design requires. Embossing gives you visual as well as tactile design features. Hence, it’s ideal for making certain details stand out. Company logo, illustration, patterns … Read more

The smallest visible point that can be printed or displayed. It is the smallest form of light. In other to detect this light, a scanner needs to be used. A spot is different from a Dot.
Print Peppermint consistently provides great graphic review and good customer service.
The order was fill full and looks great!!
The card came out great! Everyone loves them!
Beautiful quality and for a great price. The ordering process is a little cumbersome but we are always happy with the product.
When my clients needed to order more business cards, I knew I wanted to convince them to try Print Peppermint. I had been using them for a while with other clients and was always pleased with the final product. Since this client was on a tight budget, I wanted to see the difference in cost between Print Peppermint and Vistaprint (the company they used for their last cards). With the new customer discount, we got the Print Peppermint cards for LESS than what we would have paid at Vistaprint. And let me just say, the product is SO much better and the clients were ecstatic. In case anyone is wondering, it's not just the product that is amazing but the people who work there and the customer service is TOP NOTCH.
