Spot UV File Setup

Modified on Mon, Jan 19 at 3:53 PM

Preparing artwork for SPOT UV or SPOT AQ:


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. For example, for a Business Card that will have SPOT UV and FULL COLOR printing on BOTH Sides, you should upload the following:

  • Front Full Color Artwork
  • Front SPOT UV detail
  • Back Full Color Artwork
  • Back SPOT UV detail

On the Spot UV file ONLY, use 100% K to indicate where you would like the UV. White will indicate no UV. NOTHING else should be in the Spot UV detail file except the SPOTS that you want UV varnish applied.
