What is the difference between UV and No Coating - Standard Gloss?

UV and No Coating - Standard Gloss are abbreviations for the kinds of coating used on our paper. Here are some of the core differences and applications:

UV (Ultraviolet Coating) is a clear liquid spread over the paper like ink and then cured instantly with ultraviolet light. UV coating gives more protection and sheen than either varnish or aqueous coating. Since it is cured with light and not heat, no solvents enter the atmosphere. This coating is the "laminate style" coating that you see on ultra high gloss magazine covers.

No Coating - Standard Gloss simply means that the only coating on the finished product is the natural coating of our stock. No Coating - Standard Gloss should be selected if you don't want your final piece to be extra glossy or if you need to write on the final printed piece.

What is Gang Run Printing?

Gang Run printing is the process of created printed pieces at substantially discounted prices. One of the pitfalls of Gang-Run printing is that we relinquish the control of individual piece color to compensate for the entire run. This does not mean your colors will be drastically different, but that in regards to Gang-Run printing- the industry standard practice is to accept a overall pleasing color, which is 95%-100% accurate to the image.

Because of limitations with the Gang-Run printing process, the differences in equipment, paper, and neighboring image ink requirements- the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed. By placing and order with us you agree to this limitation.
