    Default Coating question

    I think we use semi gloss aq coating which still has a nice decent gloss. My question was is there a high gloss aq coating and does it look similar to uv coating? Also anyone know much about pri air blanket ir dryer.

    there are coatings out there labeled as extra high gloss, but are only really intended for single sided printing. you can use it for w+turn or 2 sided stuff, but it's tricky. iwas forced to do it for 2 years

    it's no where near as shiny as UV

    Sorry there is no AQ coating that comes near to UV. The more gloss you need the more solids in the coating you need, The coating would never dry.

    The NiCoat 2710 is the highest gloss Aqueous coating I have seen that can be used as two sided. it can rival UV with a stock with decent holdout.

    Our UV coating gives a Gloss reading of almost 97 on SBS, are you saying i can get the equivalent with waterbase? I'm willing to try anything.
