Varnish
There are two types of varnish, Litho varnish and UV varnish.
Litho varnish is applied on a printing press at the same time
as printing, sealing the ink into the paper so that smudging
is virtually eliminated. UV varnish is very similar to laminating.
It produces a high gloss or matte coating.
Vellum
Commonly refers to a thick translucent paper, like tracing
paper. Also another name for parchment, a writing material
made from the skin of a calf, goat or sheep, or papers which
resemble such.
Vertical
Justification
Adjusting the interline spacing (leading) and manipulation
of text in fine increments to make columns and pages end at
the same point on a page.
Vignette
A small illustration in a book not enclosed in a definite
border, or a photograph or illustration which fades to the
background color all around.
