Varnish customization (often known as 3D Varnish) is a finishing technique that applies a layer of transparent gloss, adding relief to the design.
How it works: The varnish is deposited directly onto the chosen covering and cured immediately. This creates an elegant contrast between the opacity of the base covering and the intense shine of the applied design.
How it can be used: It can be applied individually (varnish only) or combined (UV Print + Varnish). More information on printing compatibilities can be found in the FAQ On which coverings can Varnish or UV Print with Varnish be applied?. Depending on the covering, it can also be used over UV Print if you want to give a more impactful and voluminous effect to the print.
The Effect: In addition to the strong visual impact (creating a "tone on tone" effect that reflects light), the varnish gives a slight and sophisticated tactile relief to the piece. It is the perfect choice for those looking for a modern, minimalist, and highly refined result.
