Glossary of Printing Terms:
Water-Based Coating

Coatings manufactured on the basis of water that dry relatively quickly, are odor-free and do not yellow.

Water-based coatings are mainly applied using coating units, though in some cases they are also applied using a press inking unit.

The layer thickness of the coating can reach 3 mm. Water-based coatings are not as glossy as UV coatings.
