By doing this you can also add decorative elements to the printed piece, such as a shimmer of a foil as you glance across it. Textures can also be achieved using embossing, to provide a different function to a piece of print. It gives it a quality of touch.

The most important approach that should be considered when using a print finish, is deciding on the effect  before the final print. As you may understand the finish is applied at the end of production, but you should not leave this out of account.
