Press Coatings: Advantages and Drawbacks
Coatings are among a print producer's most valuable tools: They protect paper and images from smudging, and can speed the drying process. Aesthetically, coatings enhance paper finish and/or create contrast between images and background.
Paper stock plays a key role in specifying press coatings and managing expectations. On uncoated stocks, visual effects are secondary to smudge protection. Coated stocks allow both smudge protection and a full range of visual effects. Keep in mind that the same press coating on a gloss, silk, dull or matte stock will perform differently.
