When creating a Raised Spot UV job, you must include a Raised Spot UV mask file along with the regular print file. Please note, the mask file must be vector art created in vector-based programs such as Illustrator.

The Raised Spot UV mask file is used to show where the UV coating needs to be applied. Please only use solid 100% K (C 0%, M 0%, Y 0%, K 100%) to indicate where you would like the UV. Do not use shadows, glows or grayscale images.

White will indicate no UV. It is recommended that you do not use smaller than 6pt font on the Raised Spot UV Artwork. For best results, please make sure that UV coverage is less than 30%. Otherwise, the cards will be stuck together and become a block of cards. Ideally, the size of the area, shape or image covered with raised foil should not exceed 1in x 1in.
