Abstract: An article in the form of recyclable packaging material having a water vapor transportation rate of about 500 g/m2/day or less. The packaging material has a paper substrate of recyclable paper fibers and a print-receptive layer which is positioned over the outer surface of the paper substrate and has a Parker Print Smoothness value of about 1.5 or less. The packaging material also has a moisture barrier layer positioned over the print-receptive layer. The moisture barrier layer is formed from one or more energy-cured polymers. Also, methods for preparing these packaging materials, including printed packaging materials.

Abstract: This invention provides a gloss-coated electrophotographic paper with superior runnability and print quality in colour and monochrome copiers and printers. The coated paper product comprises a paper substrate coated on at least one side with a pigmented coating. The pigment coating consists of a mixture of at least three different pigments and a binder. The coating may further include a lubricant. Optionally, the coating formulation may contain an optical brightening agent, a defoamer and a thickener. In addition, the gloss coated electrophotographic paper of this invention provides a superior toner adhesion in colour and monochrome electrophotographic imaging applications.
