  • Patent number: 8602550
    Abstract: A coated printing paper has a favorable offset printability, which can achieve good ink fixing and ink absorption properties even in ink jet printing, which has suitable dot diffusion even when printed by an ink jet printer using pigment ink, and can prevent the occurrence of white lines. The coated printing paper comprises a base paper and a coating layer which is applied to at least one surface of the base paper and contains a pigment and a binder as major components, wherein the base paper comprises a cationic compound, the coating layer contains, as a pigment, 50 parts by mass or more of ground calcium carbonate based on 100 parts by mass of total pigments in the coating layer, and the applied amount of the coating layer is 2.0 g/m2 to 7.0 g/m2, both inclusive, per surface.

  • Patent number: 5082724
    Abstract: A photographic support consisting essentially of base paper and a polyolefin resin with which both sides of the base paper are coated, the base paper having a standard deviation of the weight variation caused by a wire mark formed on the base paper of 1.0 g/m.sup.2 or less and a standard deviation of the weight variation caused by the dispersibility of pulp fiber composing the base paper of 8.0 g/m.sup.2 or less. The photographic support has an excellent smoothness.
