Varnish
Varnish is a transparent and oily liquid that is applied to prints to provide an additional layer of protection over the inks while enhancing the designs. It is processed by the same printer, so there is no additional processing fee. Varnish can have a glossy, matte, or satin look and feel to match the desired finish.
