Abstract: A coated paper used for printing and manufacturing method thereof. The coated paper comprises a coated layer mainly compose of a pigment and an adhesive on a base paper or paper web. The coated paper also comprises the thermal shrinkage force (R) which satisfies following formula when measured pursuant to the measuring method described in the specification; 0?R?45 gf A sample coated paper is moisture-adjusted in accordance with JIS-P-8111. Then, it will be cut into specific dimension along with orthogonally to the cross direction. Next, the paper will be put through Thermo Mechanical Analyzer to obtain R that is measured by predetermined technique. The coated paper will be obtained easily by using a base paper coated with PVA having a saponification degree of not less than 85 mol % in an amount of 0.5-5 g/m2 per side surface after the coating material was dried and dried.

Abstract: The method of making a coated paper having a thermal shrinkage force (R), which satisfies the following relationship 0≦R≦45 gf, includes coating a paper web on both sides with an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol to form a coated paper web, drying the coated paper web to form a base paper with a polyvinyl alcohol coating having a coating weight on a dry basis of 0.5 to 5.0 g/m2 per side of the base paper and then applying a coating composition composed of an adhesive and at least one inorganic pigment to the base paper having the polyvinyl alcohol coating, followed by drying in order to form a coating layer on the base paper. The aqueous solution of the polyvinyl alcohol preferably has a viscosity of from 100 to 2000 mPa·s measured with a Brookfield viscometer at 60 rpm and 20° C. and the polyvinyl alcohol dissolved in the aqueous solution has a saponification degree of not less than 85 mol %.

Abstract: The matte finished coated paper is a paper web having a smoothness of 0.5 to 20 seconds, when measured pursuant to JIS P8119, and a surface roughness Ra of 3.2 to 7.0 .mu.m, when measured pursuant to JIS B0601, provided with a surface coating on at least one side containing polyolefin resin particles, an adhesive and a pigment. The pigment includes porous particles of organic pigment material and calcium carbonate particles. The porous particles of organic pigment material have an oil absorbancy of 80 to 400 ml/100 g when measured pursuant to JIS K5101, each calcium carbonate particle has an average particle diameter of 1.0 to 10 .mu.m and each polyolefin resin particle has an average diameter of 8 to 30 .mu.m. The surface coating has a degree of gloss in a range of from 1 to 10%, when measured pursuant to JIS P8142 at 75.degree. C., a smoothness in a range of from 1 to 25 seconds, when measured pursuant to JIS P8119, and a surface roughness Ra in a range of from 2.0 .mu.m to 6.0 .mu.

Abstract: The coated paper provided by this invention is a high-quality both-side coated paper for use of printing which is finished by a high-temperature calender above 100.degree. C. and excellent in gloss, print gloss, smoothness, ink receptivity, and stiffness.The both-side coated paper for use of printing according to this invention has the characteristics that after the finish, the paper density is 1.15.about.1.35 g/cm.sup.3, the gloss of coated paper surface is higher than 75%, the smoothness is lower than 20 mmHg, and further the mean value L of Clark free protruding lengths in the machine and cross directions measured pursuant to JIS P8143 A can satisfy the following equation (1) below:L>1.28X+45 (1),whereL=Mean value of Clark free protruding lengths in the machine and cross directions (mm), andX=Product basis weight (g/m.sup.2), andthat the outermost coating layer on both sides of said coated paper contains the kaolin as a pigment whose average particle diameter is 0.5.about.1.0 .mu.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a coated paper for use in printing is characterized in that the coated paper for printing is produced by coating a color consisting mainly of pigment and a water-soluble binder made of starch or starch derivatives to the surface of a base paper, then drying and finishing it. Steam or an aqueous penetrant solution having a penetrating force of less than 50 seconds is sprayed or applied over the dry coated layer surface of the coated paper, prior to it being finished with a calender, for redistributing the water-soluble binder in the coated layer in order to correct its uneven distribution, which is the cause of printing mottle during the offset printing operation.

Abstract: An image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing comprising on a substrate an intermediate layer made primarily of a resin insoluble in organic solvents, and an image-receiving layer made primarily of a resin soluble in organic solvents and formed on the intermediate layer. This type of sheet is significantly improved in smoothness and blocking properties, enabling one to obtain print images of a very high quality, by thermal transfer printing, which are substantially free from the known problem relating to a missing transfer portion and which are high in the optical density for images as printed.
