Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink jet recording material having improved properties, and a process for producing the same.
  • the surface texture of a mirror-smooth surface, such as a mirror-like surface, is e.g. those of a mirror-finished chrome cylinder are transferred to the surface of the ink-jet recording material.
  • Such papers are characterized by the fact that they have a very high smoothness.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that the cast-iron method is a very cost-intensive method. The reason for this is, on the one hand, a very expensive cast-coated cylinder, which has to be cleaned at regular intervals in order to remove soiling from its surface, which leads to a disadvantageous surface of the produced cast-coated paper.
  • it is systemic that the speeds at which papers can be made are very low. This is because during the transfer of the surface of the chrome cylinder to the ink jet recording material, water vapor must be transported through the ink receiving layer and the paper substrate.
  • An ink jet recording material thus prepared is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat WO 2002/072359 disclosed.
  • the described ink jet recording material is characterized in that the surface layer has a gloss value in the range of 5 to 35 measured according to DIN 54502 R '(75 °) (measurement angle 75 °) and a surface smoothness according to the Parker Print Surf method (PPS) DIN ISO 8791-4 of less than 2.5 ⁇ m.
  • This paper and all other cast-coated papers have a density of less than 0.9 g / cm 3 due to the cast coating process. This is due to the cast coating process because only low pressures are used during the production of the coated papers. In contrast, papers which have been subjected to calendering have a significantly higher density.
  • the technical object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet recording material which has very good printability comparable to cast coated papers, while in addition the drying time of an ink applied during printing is very low, so that smearing of the print by non-dried paper Ink is prevented.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing an improved ink jet recording material.
  • the density of the ink jet recording material can be determined according to DIN ISO 534.
  • the substrate is a paper or cardboard.

  • the ink-receiving layer (b) contains from 5 to 35% by weight of the binder, more preferably from 10 to 30% by weight, and most preferably from 15 to 25% by weight of the binder.
  • the ink receiving layer (b) preferably has a coating weight (atro) of 5 to 30 g / m 2 .
  • the term "atro” is understood to mean the drying of the inkjet recording material to constant weight. This is usually done at a temperature of 105 to 110 ° C.
  • the coating weight, which is then measured on the ink jet recording material, corresponds to the atro-weight.
  • the ink receiving layer (b) may also be applied to the substrate several times. It is preferred that 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 ink receiving layers are applied to the substrate.
  • the respective ink receiving layers may have the same or different composition as long as they fall within the definition of the ink receiving layer (b).
  • a cationic compound which is not a pigment.

  • the ink jet recording material has excellent printability. The bleeding and fading of an applied print is very low, so that very sharp and brilliant prints can be applied to the ink jet recording material according to the invention.
  • the ink jet recording material of the present invention also improves the running property in ink jet printers. Any interruptions or multiple feeds during printing are largely avoided. Especially at higher basis weights, this advantage comes into play because, unexpectedly, despite a high basis weight no impairment of the printing process occurs, as occurs more frequently in high-weight cast-coated papers.

  • the ink jet recording material is frosted.
  • the term "satin finish” is understood to mean any process which, by pressure and / or temperature, smoothes the surface of the inkjet recording material.
  • calendering with the aid of a calender is preferred. All calenders, e.g. are usual for the production of offset papers. These calenders usually have 12 rollers through which the paper to be calendered is passed and smoothed under high pressure. Depending on the conditions of the satin finish, the paper is compacted so that the density of the paper before entry into the calender is lower than after leaving the calender.

  • the resulting gloss has a somewhat lower measured value than e.g. a cast-coated paper. However, the visually perceived gloss is at least at the same level.
  • the effect occurring here is a kind of "behind glass effect" in which the gloss in the pre-coat is created by the Satinage.
