The Perfect Cover

If you’re looking for a simple step to effortlessly enhance your printed project, consider adding varnish. Print varnish adds a transparent coating that reduces smear, prevents wear, and adds durability and strength. Just like paint, there are three basic finishes: satin, gloss, and dull (matte). Weigh these considerations when choosing a varnish that’s best for you:

Dull/Matte: A matte finish it best if your design contains a lot of text because it deflects light and glare, improving readability and bringing exciting, attractive results.

Gloss: This varnish is the show-off of the bunch, giving a saturated, crisp, sharp appearance. Gloss is perfect for printed pages containing items like photographs and graphics.

Satin: The best of both worlds, satin varnish falls somewhere in between glossy and matte, offering the perfect level of shine. This option is ideal if you have several photo and text combination pieces. Regardless of which finish you choose, varnish can add a unique, extraordinary element to make all your projects shine.
