Cast-coated paper for ink jet recording

摘要

Provided is a cast-coated paper suitable for ink jet recording which is produced in a process comprising a step of coating at least one side of a base paper with a coating composition comprising a pigment and a water base binder and a step of pressing the coated layer against a heated specular metal surface while the coated layer is in a wet condition; with the pigment comprising a synthetic silica having a BET specific surface area of 200-600 m<2>/g in a proportion of at least 40 weight %, and with the water base binder comprising an hydrophilic urethane resin and casein in a mixing ratio of from 0.1 to 20 by weight. The invention allows for higher quality in recorded images as well as excellent recording suitability.
