With clear gloss laid over the top of your print design, this kind of raised ink printing creates stunningly transparent shine and a 3D texture you can really and truly feel.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>But they\u2019re not just business cards with raised ink. They feature raised UV ink. And what is UV printing? It\u2019s a modern form of digital printing (something we specialize in, BTW). It uses ultraviolet light to dry or cure the raised coating as it\u2019s printed, so you get a high-gloss finish, vibrant colors and a crisp, commanding look. What more could you want on something designed to keep you top-of-mind?<\/p> <!--[\/col]--><\/div> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\"><!--[col]--> <p>Similar to spot UV on business cards but distinct in its tactile texture, raised UV can be applied like a coating over patterns, logos and bold typography, so your custom business cards are just that (see more of our design tips below). <span data-sheets-root=\"1\">&#8220;I love how raised UV adds extra visual and tactile interest to a design,&#8221; said Smartpress Creative Director Ferenc Andahazy. &#8220;I\u2019m a fan of minimal design, and raised UV instantly makes something simple feel more elevated without overdoing it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><em><strong>Hint:<\/strong><\/em> Want spot gloss shine without the raised texture?
