Light Gloss aqueous Finish is a clear, fast-drying, water-based coating that is used to protect printed pieces. It provides a Light Gloss surface that deters dirt and fingerprints. Aqueous coating improves the durability of printing goods as they go through the mail. It also looks beautiful on brochures, catalog covers, and presentation folders. Aqueous is typically applied to the entire printed piece, usually by the last unit on a printing press. Due to its water base, aqueous coating is more environmentally friendly than varnish or UV coatings.
