Sure. Just not sure what effect you're going to get. (or are trying to achieve)

That's my point...he says with a smile.....this isn't the type of process that you're printer is going to be able to proof unless you want to pay for a press run to proof it. You could do a press check when it actually goes to press, but you're not going to get the final effect of how it's going to look until 3 or 4 hours after it's run and by that time it will be too late.

Again....I think it sounds like a great idea and I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but since it's not commonplace and there's no way to proof it before it goes to press that leaves a lot of room for "that's not what I was looking for...." and somehow the printer always seems to lose money when that line is uttered. :-(

With that said......it's going to have SOME effect. If you're willing to try it for maybe a self promotion piece then you'll know and you should be able to work off of that for other projects. Also...there might be printers out there that have done this. Maybe you could call around in your/our area.

A UV varnish or coat will yield higher gloss, but it also costs more to do (quite a bit more). You are only limited by your budget.
