Special Effects Custom Printing to Make Your Project Stand Out

Lenticular / Droptix Effects

Lenticular printing creates an attention-grabbing 3D lens effect that gives flat substrates a sense of depth and movement.

Spot Gloss / Varnish

Spot gloss and varnish adds depth and contrast by applying a smooth, reflective finish to select areas of your print. It’s an easy way to create a high-end look and can be combined with other effects.

3D Textures and Relief

3D texture and relief printing builds up layers of ink to create raised parts of the graphic that you can see and feel. It’s a tactile way to add detail, dimension and a premium finish to your prints.

Neon Textile Printing

Neon ink expands the color gamut available for fabric printing to reach tones that CMYK inks can’t reach, allowing for more accurate color reproduction and accuracy.

Textured Printing for Fine Art

We offer artists an ultra-precise 3D artwork scanning and dimensional printing workflow that replicates the texture of fine art with extraordinary accuracy.
