Use a printer to print coated paper and stickers

Coated paper is often used to print graphic arts, advertisements, landscapes, calendars, high-grade books, and other printed matter. Coated paper is smooth, smooth, high gloss, and is used for color printing with clear images, bright colors, and high saturation. At present, coated paper is also increasingly used in the office industry. Compared with special photo paper, coated paper is much cheaper, which can greatly reduce the cost of paper for color printing. At the same time, the use of coated paper can also improve the printing effect and expand the application of color printers. Coated paper has great applications in advertising, calendars, pictures, tenders, recipes, business cards, card certificates, digital proofing, short-run printing and other fields. potential.

Coated paper has good compatibility with most color laser printers, but it is not very suitable for the color inkjet printers with the largest amount of ink currently in existence. The main reason is that it has poor adsorption of inkjet inks and it is difficult to achieve the desired results. Obviously, if the inkjet printer can print the ideal image effect on coated paper, it is undoubtedly a blessing for the majority of inkjet printer users.

Coated paper features

Coated paper, also known as coated printing paper, is called powdered paper in Hong Kong and other regions. It is a high-grade printing paper made by coating base paper with white paper. Its main raw materials are copper base paper and paint. Coated base paper is uniform in thickness, small in stretchability, high in strength and good in water resistance; the coating used for coating is made of high-quality white pigments (such as kaolin, barium sulfate, etc.), adhesives (such as polyvinyl alcohol, casein, etc.) and The composition of auxiliary additives, the whiteness of the paint has reached more than 90%, and the particles are very fine.

In the production process of coated paper, the coating machine spreads the coating thinly and evenly on the base paper, and then it is dried, rolled on a reel in a roll, and sent to a super calender for calendering. The super-calendered coated paper has a smoothness that is more than 10 times higher than that of ordinary offset paper, making it possible for the coated paper to be in close contact with the printing plate and print dots clearly. In addition, the particles on the coated paper surface are smaller than the diameter of the printing dot, and the coating also has good ink receptivity. Therefore, its dot reproducibility is good, the ink layer is thin, the image is clear, and the dots are bright and clean. In addition, the coated paper has good dimensional stability, high tensile strength and surface strength, and can achieve accurate overprinting requirements. These features make coated paper a top choice for high-end prints.

There are many types of coated paper, ranging from 70 g to 300 g in quantitative specifications. The types include single-sided coated paper, double-sided coated paper, matt coated paper, and textured coated paper. Good-quality coated paper can be used to print high-end books, pictures, and book covers. High-gram and rigid coated paper are excellent materials for printing photos, business cards, and badges. In addition, coated paper has good waterproof performance, no need to print after cold or plastic seal, can save the post-processing steps, save time and effort and save money. The most typical advantage of printing output coated paper and printing output is that it can be output in small batches, does not require plate making, and is readily available, which is more suitable for customers with small output.

However, the use of copperplate paper as an ink-jet printing paper has many obstacles. The main reason is that most coated paper coatings are not designed for ink-jet inks. They have excellent affinity for oil-based inks, but they are also The ink absorption capacity is poor. When using dye inks, there are often scattered ink, ink flow, etc. The use of pigment inks is prone to stacking. Because of these problems, the use of coated paper in inkjet printers is not yet widespread.

However, after some modifications, we can also do printouts on coated paper, and we can get the same effect.
