When professional packaging printers print artwork onto the surface of optical disc media using the likes of a UV Digital offset disc printer (http://bit.ly/2bipliO), Do the printers then apply any kind of special coating / finishing effects to the discs afterward in order to achieve the kind of smooth matte effect which appears on the discs?

For example shown in the link here (http://bit.ly/2bRqlfT) is an example of professionally printed Blu-ray disc artwork, It has a detailed smooth matte effect and it was probably printed with an expensive UV offset printer.

I would like to know whether the matte effect was achieved through an offset printer alone like the one in the link shown in the paragraph at the top of this description or would the smooth matte effect of been applied after the disc had been initially printed on and if so what kind of methods would of been used to apply the matte finish effect to the disc?
