Varnish Benefits
Varnish | Traditional Protective Print Coating
Varnish is a traditional coating applied inline during printing, providing economical protection in gloss, matte, or satin finishes.
Time-Tested Protection
Varnish is the traditional protective coating for printed materials. Applied as a clear liquid that dries to form a protective film, varnish enhances colors, provides basic scuff resistance, and improves overall print appearance at economical costs.
Application Methods
Varnish can be applied inline during printing (most economical) or as a separate offline coating process. Inline application integrates seamlessly with offset printing, while offline allows for specialty effects.
Sheen Variations
Varnishes are available in gloss, satin, dull, and matte finishes. Spot varnish applies selectively to create contrast between coated and uncoated areas for visual interest.
