Magazines and other publications can be exposed to the rays of the sun and the image on the cover fades or the colors change. If you want your favorite magazines to retain their colors, consider the use of ultraviolet UV coating. This is a transparent ink prepared by the printer just like any other.
Printing with this ink can be done on blank or preprinted material. You should take care and select the right dye for the job. It is also important to determine if the ink will give the results you are expecting for your magazine. The following suggestions can help you in your search for the right one.
Protection can be provided on the entire publication or just a section of it. Protection provided on a section of the magazine is called spot protection. A magazine with blanket protection is glossier than one that has partial protection. If you opt for sectional coverage you consider its effect on the rest of the project.
There are specific materials that work well with this protection. You should therefore match your veneer with the other materials used in the publication. Any material that contains wax is not suitable for protection against the sun.
Make sure there is enough time for the work to be completed without any hurry. The dye used in printing takes about 24 hours to dry. The protection veneer should not be applied on the printed material until it is completely dry. The protection will require 24 hours to dry.
UV coating will involve additional costs. Your printer can break down the additional costs involved for every sheet to be printed. Consider if you have the resources to meet those costs. If you do not have, there is no need to bear additional financial burden.
