UV Coating

UV coating is a neat thing to have on prints or album pages, because it’s bonded and cured with UV light.  The coating provides a protective coating against finger prints and such, so I almost always provide it for flush-mount albums.

However, you CANNOT write or imprint on UV coated products. Regular pens don’t work, and black sharpies tend to bubble. So, if you find yourself with a UV-coated book and want to turn it into a guest book album, hmmmm…you’d normally be out of luck.

BUT, I recently found out that SILVER METALLIC SHARPIE MARKERS work! Hence, my love for the ever-reliable Sharpie continues. This also means, that I don’t have to stop providing UV coating for our guest book customers and that I can justify buying loads more sharpies.
