Binder latex – general Pigment coatings are applied to paper and paperboard to improve their appearance and printability. The pigment coating imparts smoothness, gloss, brightness and opacity to the base paper, improving the appearance. It also enhances the paper’s printability, which requires resistance to ink film-splitting forces, fountain-solution receptivity, balanced ink setting and holdout, ink
