There are 5 types of product available;
White Matte Precoat White matte precoat provides a bright white, matte surface. It appears translucent upon application and dries white. One coat is usually enough on most surfaces like plastic, metal, gesso, and glass. A second coat may be needed on porous surfaces like paper and textiles. White matte is a very water resistant coating which can be overcoated with other water based coatings and varnishes.
Clear.Matte Precoat Clear Matte provides a translucent matte finish which allows the underlying colors or image on the substrate to appear through the coating with the very low gloss level characteristic of a matte finish. Clear Matte has good adhesion to most smooth, nonporous surfaces as well as any absorbant material such as paper, canvas, or cloth. Clear Matte can be used with any printer including those with tracking (pizza) wheels without causing any marking in the print.
Clear Semi Gloss Precoat Provides a slightly translucent, satin finish which allows the underlying colors or image on the substrate to appear through the coating. One coat provides sufficient coverage and most surfaces. More porous substrates such as paper or textiles more need an additional coat.
Clear Gloss Precoat Type II Clear Gloss Precoat Type II was specially formulated to eliminate the need for adhesive when applying to a non-absorbent surface like aluminum or Plexiglas, but can be used to coat any other substrate.
Iridescent Precoats Iridescent Precoats are available in Gold, Silver, Pearl, Red, Blue, and Bronze. Containing true iridescent pigments, these coatings contain an adhesive additive which provides enhanced adhesion to smooth, non-porous surfaces like metal, glass, and plastics. These coatings can also be used on any substrate such as paper, wood, textile, and canvas.
