An ink jet recording paper and a manufacturing process thereof

摘要

An ink jet recording paper comprises a base paper wherein at least one surface has a recording layer. This recording layer contains at least 40 weight % of a pigment and no more than 60 weight % of a binder, the surface roughness by ten point height on the recording layer surface being no more than 5 mu m, and the air permeability of the recording paper being no more than 1,000 seconds. In a process for manufacturing the paper, a surface of the base paper coated with a recording layer solution is dried in contact with a heated mirror finishing surface.
