Varnishes
Varnish is often associated with wood. However, what you may not know is that varnishes are also used on paper.
Paper varnishes are applied to paper stock to give the page a smooth and consistent texture as well as having the added benefit of sealing the printed material to help preserve it better. High-quality books and magazines usually have a paper varnish applied to their pages. Varnishes can be glossy Or matte.
Typically, varnishes are applied to the entire printing surface when a page needs to be robust but without adding too much weight to the paper stock, making it suitable for magazine pages, magazine covers, and brochures.
Lamination
Lamination adds a layer of protective coating (usually some type of plastic), often glossy or matte, to the printed surface while also improving its sturdiness and water resistance. Lamination also has the added benefits of improving the tactile feel of the of the printed surface, lending it a smooth finish. If a high gloss laminate is applied to the printed surface, photos and images appear to have more contrast and have better sharpness
Matte laminated prints are more subdued but add a very luxurious and elegant finish to the printed surface:
Lamination is not unlike varnishes.
However, whether lamination or varnishes are to be used in a project is wholly dependent on your needs and your desired outcome. Typically, lamination is used if sturdiness is required such as for business cards and soft covered books. Also, in my experience, lamination tends to be one of the more expensive print finishes.
Spot UV Varnish
Spot UV varnishes are paper varnishes applied to the printing surface and is cured or hardened by UV light during the printing process. This results in a glossy coating on the surface of your print,UV varnishes are usually used as a spot application where only specific parts of the page get a UV varnish.
This effectively gives texture and focal interest to different areas of the printing surface while leaving other areas untreated.
