Where
you are: Varnishes:
The Finishing Touch Varnish is actually a liquid shellac or plastic that is used like an ink on the printing press. It can be loaded just like an ink color and applied after all of the ink has been printed on the paper. A varnish can be clear or tinted and can give either a glossy or a dull-finish. Designers use varnishes in a variety of ways and create a whole slew of different effects. One thing to keep in mind: varnishes are best used on
coated stocks. Uncoated
stocks tend to soak the varnish into the paper so it's virtually invisible.
I once saw five coats of varnish applied to an uncoated stock and couldn't
tell that any had been applied. Keep in mind that designers and printers
should be sure that the combination of the coated stock and the varnish
will not create a too much of a reflection. Your readers may not
appreciate having to wear sunglasses just to read you piece. Tip: There are Graphic Design classes in your area. Sign up for FREE information from top design schools.  Some

arnishes,
though they are actually part of the printing process, come to mind as
more of a part of the finishing process. Varnishes are an extra coating
put on all or certain areas of a printed piece to give it a more slick
or finished appearance.
