Frequently Asked Questions: Aqueous Coating FAQs
How do I know which aqueous coating will pair best with my design?

If your design is photography heavy, or utilizes rich, vibrant colors, then we recommend a gloss or satin aqueous. Dull and soft touch finishes pair beautifully with softer, cool palettes, as they tend to dull back colors. We’re always happy to review your design and offer our recommendations!

What stocks work best with aqueous coatings?

Anything coated works like a charm! Gloss and satin stocks allow for a beautiful, smooth finish. You can technically apply an aqueous coating to an uncoated stock, but you won’t see a visual change in the printed piece. Coating an uncoated stock may also leave it feeling a little tacky.

Will aqueous coatings turn yellow?

Nope! This is a big reason why aqueous coatings are preferred over varnishes.

Can you write on pieces that have an aqueous coating?

Sharpies are a dream on aqueous, but ballpoint and gel pens don’t play nice. If your piece will be heavily written on, we recommend sticking with an uncoated stock.

Can you apply a spot aqueous coating?

Aqueous coatings are applied as a flood coat. If you’re looking for a spot treatment, we recommend strikethrough, spot varnish or raised spot UV. Lucky for you, we can do them all.

Can I do an aqueous coating on a direct mail piece?

Absolutely! Addressing on top of aqueous coatings is a breeze. Bring it on!

Can aqueous coatings be paired with digital printing?

Aqueous coatings are only applied in-line with full color, offset printing. If your project is better suited for digital, we’re happy to recommend an alternative coating option for you.

Amy
Witkowski
Amy‘s like lightning in a bottle. She’s a master of many talents, including quotes (making them, and remembering really good ones), answering to emails with rapid-fire speed, and closing (seriously–no job is too complicated for her. Bring it on). Want to make her happy? Give her a cool new place to explore, and a little side of Netflix.
Christa
Wheeler
Christa’s title might be manager, but her badge reads ‘super hero,’ and not just because she loves Batman. Christa takes quality assurance to the next level, and approaches every project with a ‘save the day’ mentality. Seriously–nothing gets by on her watch. FYI: Halloween is her favorite day of the year.
Erin
Blanchette
Erin slays at providing the best customer service in the biz. She is the secret weapon of Team Picasso who goes above the call to arms to defeat daring deadlines and conquer crucial concerns with her quick wit. She also has a soft spot for her cats... and all of the cats she sees. We aren't saying she is the crazy cat lady of the group, but she sure is crazy about her cats!
Rachel
Clare
Meet Rachel, our resident outside-the-box problem solver (because squares are for squares…) and assistant [to the] Mingo Press manager. While not everything in this world is black and white, she believes that with printing the job should be done right the first time, every time. She will go the extra mile to make sure everything is razor sharp in quality (in a non-scary way). PS- coffee and dark chocolate give her life.
Christy
Honel
Christy (note the y) falls right in line with the rest of Team Picasso, in that she’s a fan of perfect printing served with a big ol’ side of productivity. This lady is one smart cookie, and an enthusiastic sci-fi connoisseur. When she’s not tending to her houseplants, she enjoys traveling with the Doctor across all of time and space, and memorizing trivia about bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica.
