Description

The formation method of record-paper and this record-paper of use
Technical field
The ink-jet imaging method that the present invention relates to record-paper, uses the electrophotographic image forming method of this record-paper and use this record-paper.
Background technology
Utilizing the duplicator of electrophotographic method and laser printer is essential tool in the office.Use common paper in this class machine.This common paper is the record-paper with the coating that comprises pigment.
It is universal that ink jet recording method has become in office, because this method can be easily painted, used energy is less, and the recording noise that is produced is less, and reduced the producing cost of printer.Therefore, the feature that the so-called common paper of using in the office must have is, this class common paper can be used for electrophotographic recording method and ink jet recording method and not have problems.
Yet in the electrophotographic recording method, when when being transferred to toner image on the paper and carrying out heat fixation, paper takes place to curl.This be because when heat fixation the single face of heating paper only, and only remove the moisture of paper from heating surface.Therefore, for example exist in paper delivery and paperboard partly takes place and problem such as defective on collection tray, occurs piling up.
In order to solve the problem of curling the printing back a lot of suggestions have been proposed.An one example (being disclosed in Japanese kokai publication hei 5-341554) is conceived to the tension force of paper inherence, and the method for its proposition is included in when copying paper and dry paper the transfer paper dry method that stretches.Humidity when its another example comprises control packing paper with the moisture of reduction paper, thereby reduces the percentage elongation of paper when suction.For example the flat 7-219262 of Japanese kokai publication hei 5-241366 and Te Kai has proposed to limit immediately the method for the moisture of coated paper after press polish is handled.
Other method has been proposed among the Japanese kokai publication hei 6-138688, that is, and the method for the moisture when fiber orientation difference and qualification packing are opened between two surfaces of reduction paper.It is believed that by reducing the difference of fiber orientation between two surfaces, can reduce the difference of percentage elongation characteristic between two surfaces.Yet, in the heat fixation of the electrophotographic method part fixedly the most common way of toner be with paper clamp between heater block and extruder member.Because heater block and extruder member have different temperatures, the percentage elongation between two surfaces produces difference.Therefore, be difficult to curling behind this method inhibition heat fixation.Even the moisture of paper is reduced when unpacking, paper also can be opened the back in packing and absorb moisture.Therefore, the low moisture content in the packing is very little to the curling action that suppresses behind the heat fixation.
Japanese kokai publication hei 8-123066 discloses another kind of method, and this method defines the moisture of paper when unpacking by the coating of porous pigment layer.Yet although for coat of colo(u)r provides hole improving picture quality, the existence of hole curling after to heat fixation do not exert an influence.In addition, as mentioned above, even the moisture of paper has obtained reduction when unpacking, but the back paper of unpacking still can absorb moisture.Therefore, the inhibitory action of curling of the low moisture content in the packing after to heat fixation is very little.
Another method is disclosed among the Japanese kokai publication hei 11-282193, the moisture of paper when promptly limiting the elongation of paper in water and unpacking.Yet curling behind the heat fixation is the change in size of the paper under the drying regime.Therefore, because elongation is the change in size of the paper in the dampness extremely in the water, so can not suppress curling behind the heat fixation by elongation in the control water.As mentioned above, even reduced moisture when unpacking, the back paper of unpacking still can absorb moisture.Therefore, the inhibitory action of curling of the low moisture content in the packing after to heat fixation is very little.
Disclose a kind of method among the Japanese kokai publication hei 6-202371, the moisture of this method in limiting packing, also defined the moisture that is under 28 ℃, 85%RH (relative humidity) condition.This method define equilibrium moisture content in the high humidity environment and the moisture when unpacking between difference.This method also is conceived to the easy degree that paper absorbs moisture.Therefore, this method can not suppress fully effectively by curling behind the heat fixation of dehydration generation.Also have some other methods to be disclosed in Japanese kokai publication hei 6-295087 and the flat 11-338181 of Te Kai.Yet these methods can not suppress curling behind the heat fixation fully effectively.
Japanese kokai publication hei 3-287894 discloses the method that limits the paper that the comprises reuse paper moisture under 20 ℃, 65%RH condition.Yet this method is conceived to the easy degree that paper absorbs moisture.Therefore, this method can not suppress fully effectively by curling behind the heat fixation of dehydration generation.
The development of duplicator and printer makes their miniaturizations and for example have automatic double face copying and multiple function such as bookbinding automatically.Along with the development of duplicator and printer, it is complicated that the frame for movement of equipment and paper path become, and the diameter of heat-fixing roll diminishes, and heat-fixing roll becomes complicated.Therefore, even by the change in size difference between the above-mentioned technology reduction paper two sides, when using this paper under high humidity, serious curling still can take place in paper.When this paper was used for the printing of little printer of the one side of heating paper only, this curled obvious especially.Owing to take place to curl, the end of paper is the parts in the contact arrangement probably, thereby are easy to cause paperboard.Therefore, suppress curling behind the heat fixation unsatisfactorily with aforesaid conventional method.
Also have problems when adopting ink jet recording method on common paper, to print.For example, colouring agent can not remain on the paper, makes colour development performance deficiency thus.In addition, because used water-soluble colorant, the image resistance to water deficiency that is write down.Above-mentioned conventional art does not address these problems.
In order to address this problem, a kind of method is proposed in No. 296368 communique of Japan Patent.In this method, the printing ink that will comprise water-soluble dye is used to comprise the record on the paper of ionic substance, and this ionic substance has and the opposite ion polarity of water-soluble dye in the printing ink.Yet if this method uses the paper of hydrophobicity deficiency to print, and use rapid draing printing ink for example is used for the printing ink of high-speed printer, colour development mis-behave.This is because of the very fast infiltration paper of printing ink, and the colouring agent in the printing ink arrives paper inside, thereby reduces the colouring agent relative quantity that remains on the paper surface.
In the said method, because paper comprises a large amount of highly ionized materials, paper can be subjected to the excessive influence of environmental change, so that the resistance of paper reduces.Therefore, this paper may be to the transfer printing generation ill-effect of toner in electrophotographic printer or the electrophotographic copier.Thereby, also there is not to solve the shared paper (referring to Japanese kokai publication hei 10-166713 and the flat 7-257017 of Te Kai) of electrophotographic recording and ink mist recording problem.In addition, can not suppress curling behind the paper heat fixation with conventional method.
In the conventional ink jet printers, usually, black ink comprises pigment and infiltrates record-paper at leisure, and colored ink comprises dyestuff and infiltrates record-paper soon, thereby can improve the quality of black literal, and the paper (intercolor bleed) that can suppress to spread and sink between look.Yet, be used to print image if can infiltrate the colored ink of record-paper soon with high record density, print the back paper serious curling can be taken place at once, occur in the printer scratch occurring in paperboard or the image-region thereby make.
In addition, want spended time or make ink setting want spended time because the record-paper that curls at once after the printing is unfolded, so printing effect is extremely low under the duplex printing situation.When printing the high record density image, curling that air-dry back produces is very serious.Therefore, can not satisfy simultaneously high-quality fully and to the requirement of the inhibition aspect of curling.
As mentioned above, being crimped onto in electrophotographic system and the ink-jet system of record-paper is a big problem.
Except that said method, proposed multiple other method and suppressed curling of record-paper in the electrophotographic system.The example comprises: the method for the remnant curvature of disclosed control transfer paper among the Japanese kokai publication hei 3-243953; The method of disclosed control content of ashes difference among the flat 7-295280 of Japanese kokai publication hei 7-202897 and Te Kai, this method is conceived to the property difference between the transfer paper two sides; The method of disclosed control percentage elongation difference among the Japanese kokai publication hei 3-236062; The method of disclosed control paper density variation among the Japanese kokai publication sho 58-176641; The method of disclosed control freedom difference among the Japanese kokai publication hei 6-110243.
Yet even if reduced change in size difference between the paper two sides with above-mentioned technology, but when using this paper under high humidity, serious curling still can take place in paper.When the printing of the little printer that this paper is used for the one side of heating paper only, this curls obvious especially.Owing to take place to curl, the end of paper is the parts in the contact arrangement probably, thereby cause paperboard easily.
For curling of suppressing to take place in the ink-jet system, proposed to use formaldehyde resin to wait the percentage elongation when suppressing to absorb water among Japanese kokai publication hei 10-046498 and the Te Kai 2002-201597 so that the method that suppresses to curl.Yet, mixes with paper material with material if copy will suppress before the paper to curl, because the curling high response of using material of inhibition, the cellulose fibre in the paper can flocculate, thereby makes the surface quality severe exacerbation.
Even providing suppress to curl by size press use material, suppress curling also can initiation reaction before applied with material, surface size become sticky and flocculate.Therefore, reduced the inhibition that touches the cellulose fibre in the paper and curled, thereby can not obtain enough curling inhibition effects with the amount of material.
Carry out image when record with ink jet recording method, with multiple starch for example enzymically modified starch and cationic starch as the Cypres of the paper that is intended to prevent to spread and sink in.
As enzymically modified starch, reported the multiple starch of handling through amylase (for example Japanese kokai publication hei 1-156595, spy open flat 1-162894, spy open flat 2-3000, spy and open in 2000-307813 and the flat 10-219596 of Te Kai and No. 3237104 communique of Japan Patent and No. 2936996 communique).Using enzymically modified starch in the record-paper is effectively for the paper that prevents to spread and sink in, but can not suppress curling fully effectively.
TOHKEMY 2004-143612 proposes a kind of record-paper, and this record-paper uses cationic starch as the Cypres that is used to suppress to curl.Yet when cationic starch infiltrated paper inside, cationic starch had strengthened the formation of hydrogen bond between cellulose fibre.Therefore, when this paper is used for electrophotographic image when record under the high humidity, use cationic starch can make behind the heat fixation curl more serious.When unusable paper in the ink-jet recording system of the big water gaging of use, also can curl, and the parts in the paper edge contact machine, thereby be easy to generate paperboard etc.
As mentioned above, be not enough to prevent to curl as the Cypres in the record-paper by using starch according to conventional method.

The specific embodiment
Hereinafter, will use title " first embodiment " and " second embodiment " to explain the present invention.
First embodiment
Record-paper
In the first embodiment, the invention provides a kind of record-paper, the basic paper that the Cypres coating that described record-paper employing is main component with starch comprises paper pulp obtains, wherein, with this record-paper after leaving standstill 5 hours under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH, on the surface of this recording medium with 10ml/m 2Amount PVP-I concentration is provided is that 70mg/ml and available iodine content are the Betagen Solution of 7mg/ml, then with this record-paper after leaving standstill 5 hours under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH, the reflection density on surface with described Betagen Solution is for smaller or equal to 0.60.
When using the record-paper of first embodiment to carry out the image record by electro photography or ink jet type duplicator or printer, can suppress described and curl.
Reflection density is the index of the lip-deep coloring degree with lower area of expression record-paper, and this zone is by the zone of the dyeing of the chromogenic reaction between iodine and the starch.This coloring degree is subjected to the influence of the form of described starch.Be known that if the grape sugar chain of starch is short more, the impossible more helical structure that mixes this grape sugar chain of iodine, thus can reduce reflection density.Also known, the starch crystallization that is caused by slaking can improve hydrophobicity, and the hydrophobicity that improves will reduce the ability of absorption iodine, thereby reduces reflection density.
In other words, the hydrophobicity raising of starch can cause reflection density to reduce.Therefore, along with the reflection density step-down, the record-paper that causes because of the heat of heat fixation in the electrophotographic image record can diminish in the variation near the moisture of the part on surface, thereby can more easily suppress curling.In the ink jet image record, if reflection density is lower, the water that absorbs immediately after then printing is less, thereby reduced the former infiltration record-paper amount of moisture evaporated in the drying process after printing then, what take place immediately after therefore making it possible to suppress with comparalive ease to print curls and record-paper curling after air-dry.
Therefore, in order to suppress curling, under the situation of the record-paper that uses first embodiment, described reflection density can be smaller or equal to 0.6, preferably smaller or equal to 0.57, is more preferably less than and equals 0.55, more preferably smaller or equal to 0.53.Reflection density is low more preferred more among the present invention.
Yet, must provide the spread and sink in paper of a certain amount of at least starch when preventing inkjet printing to record-paper.Described starch can mix before copying paper with the composition of paper, and/or was applied to record-paper after copying paper.Therefore, reflection density is more preferably more than or equal to 0.35 preferably more than or equal to 0.30.
Reflection density is to measure by the following method: this record-paper is left standstill 5 hours with the control water content under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH; Then to the surface of this recording medium with 10ml/m 2Amount PVP-I concentration is provided is that 70mg/ml and available iodine content are the Betagen Solution of 7mg/ml; Then this record-paper was left standstill 5 hours under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH; Measure this surperficial reflection density with the reflection density measuring instrument afterwards.
Though quote PVP-I liquid herein as the iodine source that is used for starch-iodine reaction, also can use commercially available PVP-I gargle to replace, as long as the iodine of identical effective dose is provided to the lip-deep unit are of this record-paper.Can provide PVP-I liquid to the surface of this record-paper with rubbing method or spray-on process, as long as with 10ml/m 2The amount of (calculating with undiluted solution) provides described liquid to get final product on this surface equably.
In the measurement of reflection density (vision concentration), will be used as measuring instrument by the X-RITE 938 that X-rite produces, as light source, measuring the visual field is 2 ° of visuals field with the D50 light source, aperture scale is 8mm.In the measurement, measure the reflection density value of ten points in the scraps of paper of 50mm * 50mm size, regard the mean value of these ten values the reflection density of this paper as, wherein, these scraps of paper at random are selected from the zone by starch-iodine reaction dyeing.
The scope of the term of Shi Yonging " starch " comprises starch and starch derivatives herein, for example the enzymically modified starch of having handled with enzyme.The starch that uses in the Cypres is not particularly limited with the processing that is applied to starch, as long as the record-paper that obtains demonstrates the packing density smaller or equal to 0.6 in above-mentioned measurement.In one embodiment, can be used in combination two or more starch.
The starch that uses in the record-paper of first embodiment is preferably in the past as the oxidized starch of Cypres, or the starch that has a high hydrophobicity more than common starch enzymically modified starch for example.This starch can be the enzymically modified starch by following method preparation.
Preferred enzymically modified starch (below be sometimes referred to as " enzymically modified starch F ") makes by the following method: the heating amidin, so that this amidin gelation; Under the temperature that is lower than above-mentioned gelation heating-up temperature, make this amidin slaking then; Then by in this amidin, adding enzyme so that this starch is carried out enzyme modification; Heat this amidin then so that this enzyme deactivation and stop the reaction.
On the other hand, when preparing traditional enzymically modified starch, the heating amidin adds enzyme simultaneously, then cooling.In the conventional method, omitted the curing step in the said method of the present invention, in fact, be used for the heating of the gelling starches aqueous solution simultaneously and be used to make the heating of enzyme deactivation.
When enzymically modified starch F when the Cypres, obtain in above-mentioned measurement, demonstrating record-paper easily smaller or equal to 0.6 reflection density.Therefore, enzymically modified starch F is very effective for suppressing and preventing to curl.This estimation is because enzymically modified starch F has higher hydrophobicity than traditional starch.It is believed that, the reason that enzymically modified starch F hydrophobicity is high should be as described below: when carrying out slaking after the heating that is being used for the gelling starches aqueous solution, pine for the starch crystallization once again of dissolving and expanding being used for adding of the gelling starches aqueous solution, the suction of the starch of crystallization has obtained inhibition again, thereby has strengthened the hydrophobicity of the enzymically modified starch F that obtains.Preferably carry out the preparation of enzymically modified starch F with following condition.
-gelation
The starch that uses in the preparation is not particularly limited, and can be for example cornstarch, tapioca, farina, wheaten starch or rice starch of traditional starch.
The concentration of starch preferably 8 weight %~20 weight %, more preferably 10 weight %~15 weight % in the amidin.Preferably 90 ℃~120 ℃ of heating-up temperatures (heating-up temperature that is used for the gelling starches aqueous solution), more preferably 95 ℃~100 ℃.Preferably 20 minutes~60 minutes processing time, more preferably 30 minutes~45 minutes.
-slaking
Amidin after the gelation is cooled off naturally or force cooling, carry out slaking at low temperature then with frozen water etc.Preferably 20 ℃~50 ℃ of curing temperatures, more preferably 25 ℃~40 ℃.Preferably 60 minutes~180 minutes processing time, more preferably 60 minutes~120 minutes.
-modification
Carry out enzyme modification by adding the amidin of enzyme after to slaking.Described enzyme can be for example AMS, beta amylase or glucoamylase.The amount of the enzyme that uses (enzyme concentration) is 0.01 weight % of amount of starch~1.00 weight % preferably, are more preferably the 0.02 weight %~0.5 weight % of amount of starch.Reaction time (adding the time span between enzyme and the beginning enzyme deactivation operation subsequently) is preferably 1 minute~10 minutes, more preferably 1 minute~3 minutes.
-inactivation
After the modification, starch solution is heated to high temperature, so that enzyme deactivation and stop enzyme modification reaction.Heating-up temperature is preferably 90 ℃~120 ℃, more preferably 95 ℃~100 ℃.Processing time is preferably 5 minutes~and 20 minutes, more preferably 6 minutes~10 minutes.
The instantiation of preparation enzymically modified starch F is described below.
Put hot bath (be higher than and equal 95 ℃) into holding the container that 180g contains the liquid of 8 weight % cornstarch, and make cornstarch liquid boil 30 minutes (gelation).Then, by container is put into ice-water bath etc., made cornstarch liquid be cooled to 40 ℃ through about 30 minutes.Cornstarch liquid is put into ampoule, and bottle is left standstill 30 minutes (slaking) in 40 ℃ hot bath.Then, in each bottle, add the enzyme (AMS, name of product " KLEISTASE PA ") of scheduled volume, and with about 2 minutes of the cornstarch liquid strong agitation (modification) in the bottle.After the stirring, bottle is put into the hot bath (be higher than and equal 95 ℃) of boiling, and leave standstill 6 minutes, so that make enzyme deactivation (inactivation).Then, this starch fluid is cooled to room temperature also as Cypres.
For the purpose of reference, the preparation method of traditional enzymically modified starch is described below.In the preparation, put into hot bath (be higher than and equal 95 ℃), and make starch fluid boiling 30 minutes having held the liquid that comprises 20 weight %~30 weight % cornstarch and the container of scheduled volume enzyme (AMS, name of product " KLEISTASE PA ").Then, this starch fluid is cooled to room temperature also as Cypres.
Can control the hydrophobicity of enzymically modified starch F by suitably adjusting the condition enzyme concentration when adjusting starch conversion for example in each operation.
In order to suppress curling, can select described condition, make the record-paper that obtains by the surface size coated base paper that comprises enzymically modified starch F with above-mentioned routine processes and when measuring, demonstrate reflection density smaller or equal to 0.6.The preferred production method of not only considering reflection density but also considering record-paper is selected described condition.For example, if this starch with enzyme modification exceedingly, the viscosity of surface size can be too low so, has the problem of the drippage of liquid for example probably.
Conventional art was once attempted to improve the permeability that Cypres infiltrates paper by the difference between the reduction paper two sides or by using traditional enzymically modified starch to wait, and suppressed to cause to occur in double-sided copying or the printing curling of paperboard.
Yet, when forming image with high humidity with duplicator with than the another side stronger frame for movement of being heated that makes paper one side or printer on traditional record paper, paperboard appears when double-sided copying or duplex printing probably.This is because the change in size of the one side of being heated is probably greater than the change in size of another side on the paper, thereby serious curling takes place.
On the other hand, when have higher hydrophobic starch for example enzymically modified starch F when the Cypres, the change in size of the one side of being heated can be not significantly greater than the change in size of another side.Therefore, the paperboard in the time of can suppressing double-sided copying or printing.
When preparing the record-paper of first embodiment, comprise the surface size coated base paper of Cypres by using, thereby provide Cypres to this record-paper surface.The concentration of Cypres preferably 5 quality %~15 quality %, more preferably 8 quality %~12 quality % in the surface size.

Second embodiment
Record-paper
In second embodiment, the invention provides a kind of record-paper.This record-paper is that comprising with paper pulp fiber and filler is the common paper of the basic paper of main component, and wherein, described common paper does not have the coating layer that comprises pigment, and this common paper has been coated with the treatment fluid that comprises starch.This record-paper is such record-paper: when to 0.06m 2Record-paper when carrying out hot water extracting, the amount of solid of this extract is 0.01g~0.4g, and carboxyl-content is 0~5 mM/100 grams in this solid.
In the embodiment, described treatment fluid comprises the salt of the above metal of divalence or divalence, and under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH, the surface resistivity of this record-paper and the ratio of specific insulation are 0.1~1, and its surface resistivity is 1.0 * 10 9Ω/sq~1.0 * 10 11Ω/sq, and specific insulation is 5.0 * 10 9Ω cm~5.0 * 10 11Ω cm.
The record-paper of second embodiment is the common paper with the coating layer that comprises pigment.Therefore, described treatment fluid does not preferably contain pigment in fact.The term of the Shi Yonging content that " do not contain pigment in fact " and be meant pigment in the described treatment fluid is for smaller or equal to 10 weight % herein.
The example of the starch that uses in second embodiment has been described hereinafter.Starch is the natural water-soluble copolymer with small number of carboxylic acid groups.Be used at starch before the surface treatment of paper, usually starch reduced the processing of starch viscosity, to improve surface-treated efficient.This processing that is used to reduce viscosity normally reduces the processing of starch molecule amount.For example oxidation processes or enzyme modification are handled.By reducing the processing of starch molecule amount, might increase the quantity of carboxyl.
Although reason is unclear,, then in the electrophotographic recording method, can obviously suppress curling behind the heat fixation if the starch that carboxyl is less is used for record-paper.Similarly, when mixing and using when having the starch of different carboxyl amounts,, can suppress curling behind the heat fixation by being used in combination the less starch of carboxyl amount.
According to this observed result, the inventor has been found that if record-paper carboxyl-content in the solid that hot water extracting obtains of being handled by starch is 0~5 mM/100 grams, then can suppress curling behind the heat fixation.
Colouring agent in the water-based ink that uses in the ink jet recording method is anionic property normally.If exist the identical material of ion polarity of the colouring agent in its ion polarity and the printing ink on the record-paper surface, then this colouring agent can be had the area repels of this material.This repulsion meeting produces undesirable white point in should having the solid image-region of the uniform solid image of color, and this white point can reduce color rendition.The inventor thinks preferably do not have this specific character that can cause image quality to worsen on paper surface for the starch that uses.
If record-paper carboxyl-content in the solid that hot water extracting obtains of being handled by starch is 0~5 mM/100 grams, the then amount reduction of the component of anionic coloring agent in hydration and the repulsion printing ink in printing ink, thus improved color rendition.In addition, the inventor also finds, if satisfy " when to 0.06m 2Record-paper when carrying out hot water extracting, the amount of solid of this extract is 0.01g~0.4g " this condition, then in printing ink hydration and fixedly the amount of the component of colouring agent be suitable.
When providing printing ink to paper surface, if the amount of the said components of hydration is less in printing ink, then described colouring agent can not be fixed, thereby can infiltrate the inside of paper or sprawl arbitrarily on the thick-layer of the material of extremely difficult hydration, will cause even color rendition variation.If the amount of this component is too big, the molecular weight of starch is too little, and does not have the polymerizable compound of fixing in conjunction with the complex compound that forms or insoluble substance that makes by colouring agent and hydration component, then can reduce color rendition thus.
Carboxyl-content is preferably 0~5 mM/100 grams in the solid that is obtained by hot water extracting, more preferably 0~3 mM/100 grams.This is because carboxyl-content is low more, can suppress curling behind the heat fixation in the electrophotographic method more, and the content of the carboxyl of repulsion colouring agent is low more, with the color rendition that can improve more in the ink-jet method.
As mentioned above, the amount of the hot water extracting gained solid by limiting paper and the carboxyl-content of this solid can obtain favourable effect.
If further use the surface of multivalent metal salt handling of paper, can improve the color rendition in the ink jet recording method.Yet,, worsen the transfer printing of toner in the electrophotographic method probably if a large amount of cation multivalent metal salts are used for surface treatment.
Therefore, for the transfer printing in the electrophotographic recording method and the color rendition in the ink jet recording method importantly, the multivalent metal salt that is applied to paper surface remain in this surface near.Therefore, the inventor has been conceived to surface resistivity and the specific insulation as the index of reflection ionization material distribution.
In a preferred embodiment, under 23 ℃, the condition of 50%RH, the surface resistivity of this record-paper and the ratio of specific insulation are 0.1~1, and its surface resistivity is 1.0 * 10 9Ω/sq~1.0 * 10 11Ω/sq, and specific insulation is 5.0 * 10 9Ω cm~5.0 * 10 11Ω cm.In this specification, the ratio of this surface resistivity and specific insulation is meant the (value of surface resistivity (Ω/sq)/specific insulation (Ω cm)).This ratio is preferably 0.1~1, and more preferably 0.1~0.5.If this ratio is lower than 0.1, then specific insulation is too high with respect to surface resistivity; Therefore excessive charge can remain in the paper during electrophotographic printer, thus, when discharge can occurring when transfer member removes paper, thereby produces the image quality defective.If this ratio is greater than 1, then specific insulation is too low; This shows that the cation multivalent metal salt that is applied to the surface has infiltrated paper inside in a large number, and does not remain near surface.Color rendition when in this case, being difficult to improve inkjet printing.In addition, in electrophotographic method, electric charge does not keep from the teeth outwards, thereby but leaks to the back side and cause the transfer printing defective.
Surface resistivity on the printing surface of the record-paper of second embodiment is preferably 1.0 * 10 9Ω/sq~1.0 * 10 11Ω/sq, more preferably 5.0 * 10 9Ω/sq~7.0 * 10 10Ω/sq is more preferably 5.0 * 10 9Ω/sq~2.0 * 10 10Ω/sq.The term of Shi Yonging " printing surface " is meant that face of having handled with starch and multivalent metal salt herein.
Specific insulation is preferably 1.0 * 10 10Ω cm~1.0 * 10 12Ω cm, more preferably 1.3 * 10 10Ω cm~1.6 * 10 11Ω cm, more preferably 1.3 * 10 10Ω cm~4.3 * 10 10Ω cm.
Make the ratio of surface resistivity, specific insulation and surface resistivity and specific insulation respectively in above-mentioned scope by using the treatment fluid that comprises multivalent metal salt, the record-paper that can obtain the transfer printing problem in the electrophotographic recording method, not occurring and in ink jet recording method, demonstrate the color rendition of improvement.
The basic paper that is used to prepare the record-paper of second embodiment is described below.The basic paper that uses in this record-paper is main component with paper pulp fiber and filler.

Especially, described primary slurry preferably uses method for bleaching (the element-free chlorine of chlorine dioxide not use chlorine; ECF) or the method for not using chlorine-containing compound to use ozone/hydrogen peroxide (completely without chlorine; The paper pulp of method bleaching such as TCF).
In addition,, can mix as the raw material of above-mentioned secondary stock: job lot paper not, for example by edging or the high white broken that produces or produce as the broken in bookbindery, printing house and the side cut factory of cutting edge, extra white broken, in white broken and white broken; The fine paper that printed, fine paper of for example printing or duplicating and senior coated paper; The waste paper of writing with for example printing ink or pencil; The disregard message paper that comprises flyer, matter paper in the fine paper that for example printed, coating fine paper, middle matter paper and the coating; Waste paper, matter paper and wood pulp fibre paper in for example middle matter paper, the coating.
As the secondary stock that uses in second embodiment, it is desirable handling the paper pulp that above-mentioned wastepaper as raw material obtains with at least a method in ozone bleaching and the hydrogen peroxide bleaching.In addition, in order to obtain having the basic paper of higher whiteness, the ratio of being handled the secondary stock that obtains by above-mentioned bleaching is preferably 50 weight %~100 weight %.In addition, consider resource reusing, the ratio of secondary stock is 70 weight %~100 weight % more preferably.
Above-mentioned ozone treatment has the effect of decomposing the fluorescent dye that comprises usually in the fine paper, hydrogen peroxide treatment have prevent to handle by deinking in the effect of the yellowing that causes of used alkali.Known processing in conjunction with above-mentioned two kinds of processing not only is easy to carry out deinking, and can improve the whiteness of paper pulp.In addition, described has the effect of decomposing and removing the residual chloride compound in the paper pulp in conjunction with handling, and has therefore used the content of the organohalogen compound in the waste paper of chlorine bleaching paper pulp to have remarkable effect to reduction.
In addition, add filler in the basic paper that preferably in second embodiment, uses with control opacity, whiteness and surface characteristic.Needing especially to reduce under the situation of halogen quantity, preferred use does not comprise the filler of halogen.The example of available filler comprises white inorganic pigment, for example powdered whiting, precipitated calcium carbonate, chalk, kaolin, calcined clay, talcum, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, zinc sulphide, zinc carbonate, alumina silicate, calcium silicates, magnesium silicate, synthetic silica, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium oxide, sericite, white carbon, saponite, dolomite, calcium montmorillonite, sodium montmorillonite and bentonite; And organic pigment, for example acrylic acid plastic pigments, polyethylene, chitosan particle, cellulose grain, polyaminoacid particle and urea resin.
In addition, when mixed waste paper, must adjust the consumption of these waste paper by estimating the content of ashes that comprises in the wastepaper as raw material in advance.
The amount of filler of mixing is not particularly limited.The amount of filler is 1~50 mass parts based on 100 mass parts paper pulp fibers more preferably based on 100 mass parts paper pulp fibers, 1~80 mass parts preferably.
In addition, when copying paper, preferably adjusting fiber orientation ratio is 1.0 to 1.55, more preferably 1.0 to 1.45, preferred again 1.0 to 1.35.When fiber orientation ratio within 1.0 to 1.55 the scope time, can in electrophotographic recording method and ink jet recording method, suppress to print curling of back record-paper simultaneously.The implication of fiber orientation ratio had been done to explain in the description of first embodiment.
Starch
Below the starch that uses in second embodiment will be described.
The scope of the starch that uses in second embodiment comprise from by plant through the starch of the synthetic polysaccharide extraction of photosynthesis reaction and the product that obtains by the starch of handling derived from natural origin.The example of described starch comprises: unmodified starch, for example tapioca, farina, cornstarch, glutinous property cereal starch and sugarcane starch; Modified starch, for example starch of cationic starch, oxidized starch, anionization starch, enzymically modified starch and introducing hydrophobic grouping.Because produce carboxyl hardly, the enzymically modified starch that obtains with enzymatic lysis α-glycosidic bond is preferred.Under the situation of using oxidized starch,, can produce a large amount of carboxyls by carrying out wet processed with the clorox that is generally used for oxidation; Yet, when with drying mode with periodate etc. during with the powdered form starch oxidation, this oxidation is gentle, oxidized portion keeps with the aldehyde form, thereby produces dialdehyde starch etc., wherein, described mild oxidation is preferred, because it has suppressed the generation of carboxyl.In wet method,, can make this oxidation become gentle by keeping high reaction pH; High pH with the short time handles the oxidized starch that can almost not had carboxyl.Yet even in this case, the carboxyl-content of the starch of wet oxidation is still than the carboxyl-content height of enzymically modified starch, and than the carboxyl-content height of the starch of dry oxidation.Therefore, the described starch that does not almost have the carboxyl starch that is preferably enzymically modified starch or obtains by dry oxidation process.In order to satisfy " carboxyl-content of the solid that is obtained by hot water extracting is 0~5 mM/100 grams " this condition, described starch is preferably the starch with carboxy lower content.The carboxyl-content of starch is preferably 0~5 mM/100 grams, and more preferably 0~4 mM/100 grams are more preferably 0~3 mM/100 grams.When IR (infrared) absorption spectrum of the solid of confirming to obtain, can be observed from 950cm by hot water extracting -1To 1150cm -1The exclusive absorption of starch, and can be observed at 1153cm -1, 1078cm -1And 1024cm -1Near three peaks.
