Aqueous Coating - "A water based coating applied after printing, either while the paper is still on press ""in-line"" or after it's off press, giving the paper a gloss, dull, or matte finish, and helping to prevent the underlying ink from rubbing off. Aqueous Coating adds brilliance and durability to PsPrint products such as postcards, premium flyers, booklets, and catalogs."
