Method and apparatus for producing recording sheet

摘要

A recording sheet provided with a coloring material receiving layer containing inorganic particulates and a water-soluble resin is produced in such a manner that production of such a recording sheet is free from restrictions of the composition and properties of coating solutions as well as restrictions of the conditions of coating operation, the coated surface of the recording sheet produced is of high glossiness, and the production of such a recording sheet is carried out in a stable manner without causing lines and unevenness on the coated surface of the recording sheet produced. A coating is applied on a substrate (12) with a slide coater (14) to form a coloring material receiving layer, the coloring material receiving layer is subjected to drying with a dryer (26), then another coating is applied on the coloring material receiving layer formed with another slide coater (28) to form a overcoat layer, and finally the coated surface is subjected to smoothing/metering treatment with a smoothing/metering unit (30) provided with a bar (30A). <IMAGE>
