As a differentiating detail of printing, one of the most popular finishes is register varnish (also known as selective varnish or reserve varnish).
Registration varnish is a glossy clear coat that should only be applied to the areas you want to highlight using a printing system called screen printing.
This varnish makes the lower content stand out from the rest of the print, making colors appear brighter and have a raised texture. Thus, an elegant and attractive finish is obtained that enriches the touch and the sight.
This process can be done on any print, whether on paper or plastic (Bopp), and in any area of your design.
In general, this type of printing is recommended on a matte surface to contrast and accentuate the graphics to be drawn.
Equipment: Simplex S. Measurement capacity. Maximum 100×100. Minimum 30×30 The speed of this process varies depending on the work area!
