Aqueous coating is water based and environmentally friendly. It is not a glossy as UV but it also is not detrimental to the environment. UV coating is a chemical based coating that takes longer to dry but has a much higher gloss than Aqueous. The post office will not accept UV coated postcards because you can not print or write on UV coating. It’s very close to a laminated look and is popular amongst club flyers and corporate presentation pieces. We cannot turn UV print jobs in less than 48 hours due to the fact that it takes longer to dry.
