FINISHING OPTIONS

SPOT UV

When creating a job with spot uv, you must include a spot uv mask file along with the regular print file. The spot uv template file is used to show where the UV will be placed. Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the UV. White will indicate no UV.

To set up your file for foil printing with spot uv:

In addition to the second layer added for the foil printing process, your file should have a third layer for the spot uv. Below are the additional guidelines for preparing your files for foil printing with spot uv.

• On your third layer, create a mask file for the elements in your design where you would want to spot uv.

• Use 100% K or black to elements for spot uv, and 0% K where spot uv is not applied.

• Leave a 1/16" gap in between foil and spot uv elements. They cannot overlap.

• Minimum font size is 8 pts.

• Minimum strokes or borders should be 1.5 pts. thick.

DEBOSSING / EMBOSSING

When creating a job with embossing or debossing, you must include a mask file along with the regular print file. The mask template file is used to show where the embossing will be applied. Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the embossing.

FOIL STAMPING

When creating a job with foil stamping, you must include a mask file along with the regular print file. The mask template file is used to show where the foil will be applied. Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the foil. Make sure to remove everything that will be foiled from the print file and have those items only on the mask file.

To set up your file for foil printing, follow these important steps:

• Your file should contain two layers.

• One layer contains your artwork

• Another layer to show where the foil will be applied

• If applying foil to text, use a font size of 8 pts. or larger.

• Strokes or borders must be more than 1.5 pts. thick.

• Limit foil coverage to 50% of the surface area.
