PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CAST COATED PAPER FOR INK JET RECORDING

摘要

A process for producing a cast coated paper for ink jet recording, comprising coating a base paper with a coating liquid containing a pigment and a binder resin, applying a processing solution capable of solidifying the binder resin to the coating layer in wet condition to thereby solidify the coating layer, compressing the solidified coating layer in wet condition onto a heated surface of specular drum to thereby dry the same so that the cast coating layer is provided as a recording layer. In this process, for the application of the processing solution, use is made of such a double pond method that while causing the base paper to embrace a roll so as to bring the roll into contact with the coating layer in wet condition, ponds of the processing solution are formed both before and behind the contact of the roll with the coating layer.
