Could it be called an ink coating? My understanding is that the distinction between ink and pigment is that ink is a solution while pigment is a suspension, can there be both kinds of coatings? or is it a meaningless distinction to draw in this context?
Sorry to barrage you with these questions if you don't know, but you brought up a pretty fine point so you seem knowledgeable about this :)
