What is all over printing in textile?

There is some print option that has no gsm effect due to light print. But if there is full coverage then gsm may increase by 10-15 grams based on the depth of print and due to the use of white paste in printing. So based on that need discuss the previous section like the knitting and finishing department to keep fabric before aop gsm in a range.
