Screen printing is high sheer process and really messy compared to rod
coating.  It would require formulating a product specifically for that
application.  I've seen a bunch of prints coated using conventional screen
top coats and they have been brittle and yellow.

Its possible to mask with a rod if you want the paper exposed.
