If you are looking for a way to enhance your print design for your business card, postcard, hang tags, or other products, adding Spot UV can do the trick. You can add Spot UV to highlight text, image, or a logo.

This video tutorial will help you create a Spot UV mask file using Photoshop Illustrator. Follow the instructions below!

1. Duplicate for the front file. The original will become our “Print File” while the duplicate will serve as the Spot UV file.

2. On the new artboard, remove all objects that WILL NOT receive Spot UV.

3. Turn all Spot UV objects to 100% black (c0, m0, y0, k100).

4. Repeat this process on the backfile.

5. In order to make the back logo a Blind Spot UV (clear gloss over background), remove the logo from the print file.

6. Save each artboard as an individual pdf. Don’t forget to outline your fonts and include bleed. Then you are ready to place your print order!
