A clear usually gloss coating that is in a water base and applied like ink by an offset printing press to protect and enhance the printing underneath. Water-based coatings are mainly applied using coating units, though sometimes they are also applied using a press inking unit. The layer thickness of the aqueous coating can reach 3 µm. Water-based coatings are not as glossy as UV coatings.
Aqueous Coating is usually the least expensive gloss coating option.
