Abstract: A process for producing a coated paper, comprising the steps of: a) providing a base paper, the fraction of long-fiber chemical pulp in the base paper being at least 25% by weight, the base paper leaving an absolute moisture content of ISO 287 of not less than 2.5%, the base paper having a water absorbency to ISO 535 for a test time of 10 s (Cobb10) of 5 to 20g/m2, and the base paper having a (Fenchel) wet elongation, measured parallel to the machine direction, of not greater than 0% and, measured transverse to the machine direction, of not greater than 3%, b) applying 10 to 40g/m2 (ovendry) of an aqueous coating composition to at least one face of the base paper, to give a coated base paper, and c) conditioning the coated paper obtained in step b).
