| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a composition useful for surface treating a sheet substrate for ink jet printing, the composition comprising a salt of a divalent metal, the salt being soluble in an aqueous sizing medium at about pH 7 to about pH 9, the aqueous sizing medium further comprising a carrier agent and a sizing agent. It also includes a method of making an ink jet printing substrate capable of retaining indicia formed by ink jet printing using pigmented ink, the method comprising surface treating the substrate with an aqueous sizing medium containing a divalent metal salt. A method for improving print quality of ink jet printing of pigmented ink on a surface treated substrate made using the composition or method is also disclosed, as is the paper so made, with and without ink jet printed pigmented ink applied thereto. Indicia printed thereon will have improved print quality characteristics. |
