Abstract: Another coating part is formed along a sheet short side direction, on a region which is a part of an envelope outer side of a third component sheet and which contacts a flap by folding along a second folding line. A first cutout part and a second cutout part which respectively extend in an extension direction of a first coating part and a second coating part, are respectively formed on both side fringes in the sheet short side direction in the third component sheet. The minimum width of each of the first cutout part and the second cutout part in the sheet short side direction is set longer than a length from the side fringe of the envelope sheet in the sheet short side direction to the inner side fringe of each of the first coating part and the second coating part.

Abstract: The present invention provides high printing density and inhibits ink stain on rollers inside printing devices or on continuously printed printing paper when printing is performed with an oil-based ink, particularly when printing is performed at a relatively low resolution such as 300×300 dpi with a high-speed line head inkjet printer, by treating a surface of a printing medium with a coating solution comprising at least inorganic particles, a vinyl chloride-based resin emulsion and water to form an ink receiving layer, and performing printing with an oil-based ink on the ink receiving layer. The coating solution is applied in an amount of 2.0-6.0 g/m2 as an amount of inorganic particles.

Abstract: A water-in-oil emulsion adhesive, which is composed of an oil phase and a water phase, wherein the water phase comprises a water-soluble polymer that functions as an adhesive component, the oil phase comprises a non-aqueous polar solvent having an SP value of 8 to 12 (cal/cm3)1/2, and the oil phase comprises a resin that is solid at 30° C. and has an acid value of 10 or less, in an amount of 5 to 15% by mass relative to a total mass of the adhesive.

Abstract: When a non-aqueous ink having a high density is used, a physical quantity defined as “density/viscosity” is equal to or more than a reference value, and therefore printing on a recording sheet is performed using a drive signal with a waveform for suppressing a residual vibration of the ink. Likewise, as to an ink having a low density, when the viscosity of the ink is low, the physical quantity is equal to or more than the reference value, and therefore printing on a recording sheet is performed using the drive signal with a waveform for suppressing a residual vibration of the ink. On the contrary, when the physical quantity is less than the reference value, printing on a recording sheet is performed using the drive signal with a normal waveform.
