Scanning Basics


Don't let poor scans detract from your printed materials. Here are some basic tips to remember.


Creating a Spot Coating Layer


At American, we have the ability to print spot varnish, aqueous or UV coatings in-line on your press sheet. In order to do that, a special layer file needs to be created for the items that are to be spot coated. These step by step instructions and illustration are a guide for creating any single or combination of spot coating affects.

You can save on the cost or your job if you provide this file. Otherwise one of our technicians can create this layer at an additional cost. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact:
