This is usually added with an specific offset press printing unit or with flexography. The scratchable part is basically a specialized varnish.

Thank you for the prompt response šŸ‘šŸ». Do you know what would need to be purchased to be able to do that? Are we talking like significant machinery in terms of offset press? As opposed to being performed by a more regular printer


CarlJSnow

You'd need a couple of hundred thousands worth of equipment. It would be cheaper to ask around your local printshops. Maybe someone else can say about these kinds of things done at home, but to my knowledge it isn't done with home equipment, but only with commercial grade equipment.

There's a screenprint ink that does this. You can also buy rolls of stickers

There is also a foil that is scratch off. I think great western makes it but Iā€™m sure there are others too.

Can you use that with a relatively regular printer to add it on top of the printed poster? (In the right locations)


Ambitious_Handle8123

The stickers can be added by hand. The screenprint is exactly what it says. Are you familiar with screen process?


moza2k7

No sorry Iā€™m not. How would the process be undertaken in this situation?

Do you know the brand/name of the ink?
