Definition from
Robert Horne Group:
Degree to which a paper surface resists penetration of ink. An inked image printed on paper with a high degree of ink holdout will dry by oxidation rather than by absorption. Coated papers tend to exhibit a high degree of ink holdout.
Example sentences:
All coating consists of two primary ingredients— pigment and adhesive. The pigment provides the sheet with its brightness, ink holdout, smoothness, and gloss; however, pigment is a powder that must be bound to the sheet by an adhesive. (www.graphpros.com)
They tend to have good ink holdout and minimal dot gain, which can be especially important for recreating sharp, bright printed images, black and white halftones and four color process images. (disk.com)
Due to the non-absorbent substrate, ink holdout is maximized. This outstanding feature allows for many graphic effects to be achieved with combinations of opaque white for backing up images, leading to crisp contrasts which are ideal for 4 and 6 color work. (Vacumet Corp. )

impermeabilite a l'encre
On parle en general plus de la porosité ou permeabilite d'un papier, mais dans le cas qui nous intéresse ici, je pense que "impermeabilite" est adéquat.
Definition from
Larousse:
Qui par nature ou par traitement n'est pas perméable, ne se laisse pas pénétrer, imprégner par l'eau ou par un fluide : Le caoutchouc est imperméable.
Example sentences:
Pour développer vos photos numériques ou scannées, exigez un vrai papier photo à base RC (c'est-à-dire un support polytethtylene) qui garantit l’imperméabilité du support et évite les problèmes de saturation d’encre et de gondolement. (Emtec )
Les papier adéquats sont par ex. le papier fin 19gr/m2 de BOLLORE ou le papier "Bible ou de Soie car ils jouent le rôle de membranes souples, imperméables à l’encre et résistantes à l’eau. (La Tactigraphie)
