Abstract: The present invention aims to develop a technique for efficiently preparing deinked pulp from prints made with UV-curable inks. According to the processes for preparing deinked pulp of the present invention, high quality deinked pulp can be obtained by performing the steps of: disintegrating printed waste paper containing UV prints in water to give a waste paper slurry; and applying a mechanical process to the waste paper slurry using a rotary disintegrator.

Abstract: A coated printing paper offering high gloss, no mottled impression, sufficiently practical levels of printability in terms of ink-drying property and surface peel strength, and good productivity achieved by elimination of deposits on the calender rolls, wherein the coated printing paper comprises a base paper and a coating layer comprising pigment and adhesive formed on the base paper, and wherein a surface layer comprising 100 weight-parts of thermoplastic copolymer with a glass-transition temperature of 80° C. or above and 3 to 100 weight-parts of surface sizing agent of styrene-acrylic, olefin or styrene-maleic acid copolymer type is formed on the coating layer.

Abstract: A thermally-sensitive recording medium having a protecting layer formed on a thermally-sensitive recording layer containing a colorless or pale-colored electron-donating leuco dye and electron-accepting color-developing agent. The thermally-sensitive recording layer is formed on a substrate, and the protecting layer contains a resin that contains a carboxyl group, epichlorohydrin resin and modified polyamine/amide resin, and the thermally-sensitive recording medium exhibits sufficient resistant against water such as rain or humidity, and further is excellent in printing run-ability (head debris and sticking) and sensitivity.

Abstract: Provision of a thermally sensitive recording medium made up of an undercoating layer containing a pigment and a binder as main components and a thermally sensitive color-developing layer containing a colorless or pale-colored basic leuco dye and a color-developing agent which develops a color by reacting with said basic leuco dye as main components on a substrate, wherein the undercoating layer contains a water-retention agent and a pigment whose oil-absorbing capacity prescribed by JIS K 5105 is from 80 cc/100 g to 120 cc/100 g as a pigment. Further, the solids concentration of a coating for the undercoating layer is from 25% to 45% and the dynamic water-retention capacity, which is Water retention measured with AA-GWR, is 350 g/m2 or less.

Abstract: A thermally sensitive recording medium whose luster of printed part is excellent can be provided by a thermally sensitive recording medium of single layer or multi layers having at least a thermally sensitive recording layer that contains a colorless or pale colored electron donating leuco dye and an electron accepting color developing agent on a substrate comprising, containing a pigment whose aspect ratio is 30 or more in at least one layer formed on a substrate.
