Lacquer effects

Simsa UV varnish standard in screen printing quality

The high-gloss varnish for maximum matt/gloss contrasts on your printed materials! Whether it’s a champagne glass, the new car model or your company logo: this high-gloss UV coating allows you to effectively highlight important image elements against the matt background. This allows you to emphasize what is really important! At the same time, the water-wet sheen of the UV coating brings a positive freshness to your image.

In addition to the visible and tactile enhancement of printed products, UV coatings are also often used in security printing. They serve as cost-effective entry-level counterfeit protection, as they cannot be reproduced with color copiers or conventional printing machines.

As before, but with an additional , higher layer of lacquer that is already easy to feel in order to appeal to the sense of touch.

Relief varnish for tactile prints

The lacquer with the maximum three-dimensional effect in print.

Our tip: design with lots of finer elements and spaces. The fingertips will experience a memorable, tactile rollercoaster ride when touching your print product.

In addition to high gloss, relief varnish is also available in a matt version. This allows you to discreetly and realistically bring the feel of natural surfaces to paper. For example, you can print the grain of a wooden board, tree bark or the nubs of a basketball in a very realistic way.

Simsa “Colorlack”

Tinted gloss varnish with color nuances for additional visual reinforcement of a varnish motif. Available in many color shades, but always with a transparent view of the printed image.

Simsa “Good Lack”

Microfine lacquer structures from our Good Lacquer sample catalog invite you to create eye-catching graphic designs. In addition, images of objects can be visually enhanced with fine details, such as fabric weaves or record grooves.

Simsa textured paint “The Rough”

The effect varnish for imitating rough surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, sandpaper, stone or brickwork: we print natural textures using UV varnish in thick-layer screen printing quality. Make your pictures look even more lifelike.

Simsa orange peel lacquer “Lacquer Orange” & wet lacquer “Wet Look”

Printing technology for images of citrus fruit peels such as oranges can be printed just as realistically as rain-soaked surfaces.

Safety lacquer / black light lacquer

This paint, which is barely noticeable in normal light , suddenly glows neon-colored under bill validators and the “black light” of discotheques. For more information, see the effect colors.
