Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus is provided that is configured to supply a gas into a chamber, generate a plasma from the gas using a power of an electromagnetic wave, and perform a predetermined plasma process on a substrate that is held by a mounting table. The plasma processing apparatus includes a dielectric window through which the electromagnetic wave that is output from an electromagnetic wave generator is propagated and transmitted into the chamber, a support member that supports the dielectric window, a partition member that separates a space where the support member is arranged from a plasma generation space and includes a protrusion abutting against the dielectric window, and a conductive member that is arranged between the partition member and the dielectric window and is protected from being exposed to the plasma generation space by the protrusion.

Abstract: Multicolor printing on a high speed web-fed press with cold-set ink increases production efficiency over that of a press with dryers. For this purpose, newsprint is used because of its good oil absorptiveness, however, the printing quality is not satisfactory. A coating including needle form pigments, the average oil absorptiveness of which is more than 65 cc/100 g, was applied on the base paper, and coated paper for the high speed press was produced.
