The type of paper used for difference purposes is expressed in weight. In the US system it is Pound (lb).

The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and such stationery) is generally between 20 to 70 lb and is called the paper or text stock. Anything heavier than this is considered the card stock, i.e. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.

What is Spot UV or Spot Gloss

Spot UV or Spot Gloss is a high gloss coating placed over specific areas of your business card. Your business card overall will have a matte finish. A high gloss coating can be placed over text or graphics. This enhances colors in your graphics and sometimes gives the feeling of embossed or raised lettering.

Coated papers are available in two finishes – glossy (shiny and smooth) and matt (flat and lusterless). Coated glossy papers reflect the light evenly so they are suitable for almost all types of printing jobs. Glossy papers have a good ink holdout, which is important for creating sharp, bright images.

Setup Spot UV/Foil Masks

SPOT UV, EMBOSS, DIE-CUT or FOIL File Setup When creating a Spot UV, Emboss or foil job, You must include a template file (MASK) along with the regular full color file. The MASK file is used to show where the upgrade will be placed. For example, if you would like spot gloss on the front and back of your business card, you sill send us two color files (bc_front_color.pdf & BC_Back_color.pdf). You will then create two additional mask files. These files will be black (100& K) and white files (BC_Front_Mask.pdf & BC_Back_Mask). The black will indicate exactly where the spot uv is to go. CAUTION: BE SURE YOUR MASK FILES LINE UP PERFECTLY WITH YOUR COLOR FILES OR THE UV COULD MISS ITS TARGET! Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the UV, Emboss or Foil. Include the word “MASK” in your file name for the upgrade file.

Printing

Our system supports RGB (red, green, blue) for producing digital prints. We have accurately mapped color pallets to match RGB to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key) to ensure proper 4-color printing. NOTE: When shifting your file from RGB to CMYK for printing, it is possible there could be some slight color variation. We do not guarantee absolute color matches.

300 dpi (dots per inch) is the resolution of the output PDF file.

We use offset printing, which provides the highest quality of print material for both text and images.
