I need a machine that can do this =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ckX5MMZTY.

Is this offset or just a spot vanish?

It is done with an offset press.....Either a separate press just for the UV or on a multi colour press than can print 5 or 6 colours.....

Can digital print produces such products ? Or is the offset machine win in this case ?
Xerox rep stopped by the other day and showed some samples from one of their new machines that looked pretty good.

Many people us the term UV coated generically to mean a clear varnish or aqueous coating
True UV is glossier and thicker then any varnish or aqueos
Clear spot coatings can be done on offset and digital
True Spot UV coating is super expensive for the equipment, but low material cost
The quality shown in the video is well into six figures to purchase eequipment
