Gloss coated papers having optimized properties for improving image permanence and a method of printing the gloss coated papers in an electrophotographic apparatus

摘要

The present invention generally relates to a gloss coated paper having specific properties for enhanced toner adhesion. The critical specific properties of the paper include the combination of a thermal diffusivity of less than approximately 8.5 mm²/s, a polar liquid contact angle slope of less than approximately -12.0 and a non-polar liquid contact angle slope of less than approximately -5.5. A method of printing gloss coated paper in an electrophotographic apparatus includes forming an image with an electrophotographic toner in the electrophotographic apparatus and transferring the image to the gloss coated paper.
