PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultraviolet curable overprint varnish composition, which is used for an overprint layer in the pseudo-embossing of a printed material, making use of a phenomenon of repellency and which forms an overprint layer having excellent smoothness of its coating surface, hardly causing cracks in the coating due to the folding or the like of a printed material, having little odor of the coating and being excellent in designing.;SOLUTION: The ultraviolet curable overprint varnish composition for use in the overprint layer is used for manufacturing a printed material. The printed material includes three layers as follows. A printed layer is formed, on which an ultraviolet curable ink is used. On the surface of the printed layer, an underprinted layer is formed, which may be partially or entirely colored in advance. On the printed layer and the underprinted layer, an overprint layer is formed, which may be colored in advance. The overprint layer on the underprinted layer forms a relief pattern by a phenomenon of repellency. The ultraviolet curable varnish composition for the overprint layer contains silicone and wax.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
