This book printing process makes your book glossy

In book printing, there are two commonly used finishing methods to make book covers glossy.

After hot air drying, cold air cooling, or calendering, the book cover forms a thin and uniform transparent bright layer. In book printing China, the varnishing process can not only enhance the glossiness of the printed book cover but also can protect the printed book.

There is no solvent volatilization during curing, which will not cause environmental pollution. The surface gloss of printed books using UV varnish is high. However, due to the high price of UV varnish, it is currently mostly used for high-end hardcover book printing.
