A printed piece that is varnished with spot UV is not only a caliber above the rest, but is considered a printed masterpiece. People are less likely to dispose of printed material with spot UV for two reasons. One, many people are unfamiar with spot UV and have not seen spot UV before. For this, printed material with spot UV varnish carries a higher success rate to be saved and not thrown into the trash.
