Hi there!

is there any instructional video on how do a workflow  related to putting 3D varnish on a file (it's for a business card). It is only one colour (1+0) card, and I want only a part of the object with this 3D warnish!

 

Thank you so much!

Not necessarily.

Talk to the printing service and ask them how exactly to set up that file. They sometimes want a separete file, sometimes a specific spot color, sometimes a layer, sometimes whatever. So ask them. Their process is made up in a specific way and you don't want to waste money by messing with their process of doing stuff.

Are you referring to this?

or

If you want a "regular" varnish, it's just treated like any other spot color, typically on it's own layer of a PDF, or as a separate file.

OK. - So I can do a separate file for that varnish? That is all?
