Gang Run printing is the process of created printed pieces at substantially discounted prices. One of the pitfalls of Gang-Run printing is that we reliquish the control of individual piece color to compensate for the entire run. This does not mean your colors will be drastically different, but that in regards to Gang-Run printing- the industry standard practice is to accept a overall pleasing color, which is 95%-100% accurate to the image.
Because of limitations with the Gang-Run printing process, the differences in equipment, paper, and neighboring image ink requirements- the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed. By placing and order with us you agree to this limitation.
UV and non-UV are abbreviations for the kinds of coating used on our paper. Here are some of the core differences and applications:
UV (Ultraviolet Coating) is a clear liquid spread over the paper like ink and then cured instantly with ultraviolet light. UV coating gives more protection and sheen than either varnish or aqueous coating. Since it is cured with light and not heat, no solvents enter the atmosphere. This coating is the "laminate style" coating that you see on ultra high gloss magazine covers.
non-UV simply means that the only coating on the finished product is the natural coating of our Premium Grade 14PT. paper. Non-UV should be selected if you don't want your final peice to be extra glossy or if you are using the printed peice as a mailer in which you will need to have a printed indicia or printed address applied directly on the piece.
