Spot UV is a selectively applied glossy coating. In other words only part of the paper is covered. You can use it to highlight important parts of the design or give it a floating appearance. Go to http://www.PrintElf.com/spotUVhelp to download the Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator business card file used in this video. The Photoshop file is the correct size for print with us at PrintElf. The Illustrator file includes some goodies for you to use without restrictions.
