Inkjet photo paper recording sheets

Photographic paper relates generally to an inkjet recording sheet, and more particularly to an inkjet recording sheet having an ink receptive coating that is subject to being finished to a high gloss comparable to a cast coated sheet.

Inkjet photo paper recording sheets used in inkjet printing must rapidly absorb the ink vehicle (e.g., water or solvent), to reduce drying time. Further, diffusion of ink laterally on the surface of the recording sheet must be prevented in order to achieve high resolution without bleeding or feathering. Moreover, a coated Inkjet photo paper printing should be able to achieve these results without any substantial dimensional changes. For this purpose, the base Inkjet photo paper sheets is generally made from bleached chemical pulp to which fillers, dyes, and if required, sizing agents and strength enhancers are added.

It is also known that paper substrates for inkjet recording can be improved by applying a base coating to the paper surface before applying the ink receptive coating. Such base coats generally comprise a pigment and binder to produce a coated surface that has a porous structure with a large number of pores or voids.

Meanwhile, the ink receptive coated inkjet paper must provide a surface that is receptive to the inks used for printing. In the past, this result has been achieved through the use of high pigment-to-binder ratios, usually in combination with conventional pigments and other coating materials to provide a porous and permeable coating layer. However, because of the highly specific requirements for inkjet printing, conventional coating materials used in other printing processes generally are unsatisfactory for inkjet printing. This is especially true in the case of the development of inkjet recording paper for high quality printing, e.g., Gloss photo paper that looks and feels like a photograph for producing near photographic images using OEM inkjet printers.
