Sounds to me like it's entirely holofoil, but the parts that should be "shiny" will have both the holofoil coating and spot gloss added on top of that. So the holofoil will still be everywhere, but it will only be pronounced in certain areas.

Most (maybe all) full holofoil slips are also glossed, which significantly exaggerates the effect of the holofoil (rainbows are much more vivid and intense). For an example of what holofoil looks like without gloss added to it, see the spot holofoil on Nova's Ultron (front cover) or Nightcrawler (also front cover). It's a more subtle effect, but it also washes out the image underneath.

This is all educated guesswork, by the way. I could easily be completely off base.

^ This! Once its printed if the desired effect is not achieved it will be switched to spot. It wont be shiny all over regardless like typical holofoil. So you wont see rainbows everywhere haha.

Eeeehm okay. Thanks for clarification
Really hope they switch to spotholofoil..... Because on the Nova Nightcrawler I can see a lot of rainbows

@Flloydo , sorry seems like I gave you wrong infos

If possible please advise on what is "the desired effect" here regarding the holofoil - what is believed to be the benefit of a shiny, light-reflective prismatic holofoil effect to the cool elegance of this fullslip - a finish after all most associated with brightly coloured Disney Amaray slipcovers (MOANA etc.) ?

On the other hand, this slipcover looks like it might be holofoiled and seems to work well and suits the chosen artwork "to a "T" although a different more elegant finish could be more desirable:-

It's not Manta Lab. It's a DVD slipcover released in Canada a few years ago, which I posted about a few pages back.

You're welcome.

Link below:

I got it a couple of years ago along with the blu-ray slipcover (also nice but black) from Amazon Canada. You could try the marketplace sellers, ask them for confirmation first that it comes with the slip...

my only concern: the title color makes it not noticeable enough

It's tin proof. Once its debossed on the final product. even a blind person will notice it.
