  The present invention relates to a printing technique for a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet by an electrophotographic printer, and in particular, a printing method for printing information on a continuous sheet for pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets without causing toner blocking, and a continuous pressure-sensitive sheet for use in the method. The present invention relates to a form, a base paper for manufacturing the form, and an adhesive composition used for manufacturing the base paper.

  In recent years, confidential postcards and direct mail, etc. that can be peeled off and viewed the information description surface due to the revision of the Postal Law and the spread of postcard creation systems, have become popular due to the security of information and the large amount of information described. Yes. Many proposals have been made for pressure-sensitive sheets such as postcards, continuous sheets for pressure-bonding sheets, and base paper for the continuous forms used for this purpose.

  In Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-57117 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-57118, the adhesive force is adjusted by blending silica or starch particles having a specific particle size with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, thereby providing the printability of a non-impact printer. In addition, a pressure-sensitive adhesive printing sheet having an effect of preventing blocking at the base paper stage is disclosed.

  In addition, in JP-A-4-59395 and JP-A-5-69687, blocking resistance is improved by adding a particulate filler showing non-affinity to the adhesive base of natural rubber latex. An information carrier sheet having effects such as heat resistance and wear resistance is disclosed.

  JP-A-6-65547 discloses a method in which an adhesive composition mainly composed of an adhesive base and a filler is applied and then the adhesive coating surface is smoothed to a specific smoothness. An adhesive coated sheet having adhesiveness, removability, printability and printer suitability is disclosed.

  In addition, in JP-A-8-118560, by using a synthetic resin latex having a specific glass transition point for the adhesive base of the coating layer, it has an excellent balance of adhesive strength and blocking resistance, and oxidative degradation. An information carrier sheet that is not affected by the above and has excellent printability and the like is disclosed.

  JP-A-11-279503 discloses a fine particle which is a filler by providing a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing fine particles of a modified natural rubber latex and a synthetic resin having affinity thereto on a support. There is disclosed a recording sheet in which printing and printing by a form printing machine, a non-impact printer, etc. are clear without falling off, and there is little roll contamination of the printing machine or printer.

  Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-119614 improved the toner transfer failure and transportability during double-sided printing by specifying the paper base and the air permeability after providing the adhesive layer on the paper base. A crimped paper is disclosed.

  Recently, with the progress of OA, a printing system using a heat roll fixing type electrophotographic printer is used as a crimping postcard creation system or the like because of the advantages of printing stability and printing speed.

  In this type of printing system, in order to increase the efficiency by increasing the speed of the printer, the temperature of the heat roll for melting and fixing the toner is increased. For example, in IBM-3900 (manufactured by IBM Japan), which is one of such high-speed printers, a high temperature of about 200 ° C. is applied to a continuous form after printing by a heat roll.

  In these crimping postcard creation systems, as a post-printing process, there is a process of cutting unnecessary parts of the form and laminating and bonding the adhesive surfaces together, and in the subsequent stage of the printer, there are many cutting machines, folding machines, sealers A processing machine is provided. For this reason, the printer has a compact design for the purpose of securing the space of the entire system. After the toner is melted at a high temperature by a heat roll, the printer is immediately folded into a Z-fold shape and stacked. The

  However, in this type of conventional printing system, after printing, the sheet is folded and stacked in a Z-fold before the temperature of the form drops below 72 ° C., which is a general toner melting start temperature, and the toner on the opposite surface There was a case where a phenomenon of contact and fusion with each other (“toner blocking phenomenon”) occurred. When the toner blocking phenomenon occurs, when the stacked forms are pulled out from the top in order to perform the work of the next step, the fused toner is peeled off from one paper surface, resulting in a defect in the printed image portion.

The present invention provides an adhesive composition for a release surface suitable for the production of a base paper.

  Other objects and operational effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art by referring to the following description.

  In order to achieve the above object, the printing method of the present invention supplies a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet to a heat roll fixing type electrophotographic printer to print desired information, and a printed continuous form after passing through the printer is printed. In the printing method in which the sheets are folded and stacked in the Z-fold state, the air permeability of the continuous form for the pressure-bonding sheet supplied to the electrophotographic printer is set to 60 to 200 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117, and before printing. The moisture content of the same form is set to 5.0 to 7.5% by weight.

  According to such a configuration, the form that has been heated to high temperature by the fixing heat roll is rapidly cooled while being folded in a Z-fold shape and stacked, so that the toner blocking phenomenon does not occur. .

  The clear reason why such a high-speed cooling action can be obtained by setting the moisture content and air permeability within the above range has not yet been fully elucidated, but in the continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, When there is so-called surplus water other than water hydrogen-bonded to the cellulose fibers of the paper base, this surplus water becomes water vapor by heating with a heat roll and escapes to the outside through the adhesive composition layer. It is estimated that it is because it is taking heat of vaporization.

  The term “crimp sheet” here refers to a broad concept including crimp postcards, crimp seals, crimp catalogs, salary details, etc., crimp delivery notices, etc. There is no limitation on the type of folding.

  The term “continuous form for pressure-bonded sheets” here refers to a continuous form that is in a state before being cut into individual pressure-bonded sheets. In many cases, a pressure adhesive is applied and pretreatments such as broken line processing, perforation processing, and fixed information printing processing are performed.

  Next, the continuous form for pressure-bonding sheets used in the method of the present invention has an air permeability of 60 to 200 seconds as measured according to JIS P 8117, and a moisture content before printing of 5.0 to 7.5% by weight. is there.

  According to such a configuration, when used in a high-speed electrophotographic printer using a heat roll fixing method, after heating for fixing, even if the time until it is folded into a Z-fold shape and stacked is short, The temperature of the toner quickly decreases to below the melting start temperature, and no toner blocking phenomenon occurs.

  Setting the air permeability of the continuous form for the pressure-bonding sheet within the above-described range can be realized mainly by management of the production process of the base paper. That is, the air permeability in the state of the base paper and the air permeability in the state processed into the continuous form are almost the same. Therefore, by appropriately managing the air permeability in the state of the base paper, the air permeability in the state of the continuous form is controlled. The temperament can be set to a desired range.

  Various methods are conceivable as a method for setting the moisture content of the continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet within the above-mentioned range. The most common methods include moisture prevention management in the base paper manufacturing process and base paper distribution process, and further, processing into a continuous form and moisture prevention management in the continuous form distribution process.

  When the pressure-bonded base paper wound up in a roll shape is packed with a sheet having an appropriate airtightness (for example, a polyethylene sheet), the value of the water content is a period of about half a year, which is a guarantee period of the adhesive strength of the adhesive. If so, it has been confirmed that there is almost no fluctuation in the distribution process. Also, in the process of processing from the crimped base paper to the continuous form, there is almost no variation in the value of the moisture content unless the inside of the processing factory is specially in a high humidity or dry environment. Furthermore, when the completed continuous form bundle is packed with a sheet having an appropriate airtightness (for example, a polyethylene sheet), the water content is about the adhesive strength guarantee period of the adhesive, even in the distribution process. It has been confirmed that there is almost no fluctuation.

  Therefore, as described above, by performing moisture-proof management in the base paper manufacturing process and base paper distribution process, and further performing moisture-proof management in the continuous form processing process and continuous form distribution process, the continuous form for pressure-bonding sheets can be obtained. The moisture content of can be set in a desired range.

  However, the method of the present invention is not necessarily based on the above-described moisture-proof management. In other words, whatever value the moisture content of the continuous form immediately after unpacking has, it is possible to obtain the desired moisture content value by adding an appropriate humidification treatment or drying treatment. Needless to say.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the continuous sheet for a pressure-bonded sheet has an air permeability of 60 to 200 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117, and has a moisture content of 5.0 at the time of unpacking within the quality assurance period. It is good also as 7.5 to 7.5 weight%.

  According to such a configuration, even when used in a high-speed electrophotographic printer using a heat roll fixing method, if the air permeability and the moisture content are appropriate values if they are supplied to the printer immediately after unpacking or as they are, Therefore, the toner blocking phenomenon does not occur.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet may be made into a three-fold type pressure-bonding sheet by separating it into single sheets.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a postcard, a sealed letter, a catalog, a notice such as a salary statement, or a form such as a delivery slip may be created from the continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet.

  Next, the base paper for producing the continuous form for pressure-bonding sheets used in the present invention has an air permeability of 60 to 200 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117.

  Here, “the base paper for producing a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet” means a pressure-bonding base paper before being processed into a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, and either the front surface or the back surface of the paper substrate. A pressure-sensitive adhesive containing a fine particle filler is applied to both the front and back surfaces.

  According to such a configuration, a continuous form for a pressure-sensitive sheet that does not cause a toner blocking phenomenon even when used in a high-speed electrophotographic printer using a heat roll fixing method is provided by being subjected to a normal continuous form manufacturing process. can get.

  Here, the “containing moisture” is not particularly limited. This is because, as described above, the value immediately before printing is important for the moisture content, and the value immediately before printing can be adjusted to some extent by separate humidification or dehumidification treatment.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base paper for producing a continuous form for a pressure-bonded sheet has an air permeability of 60 to 200 seconds as measured according to JIS P 8117, and at the time of unpacking within the quality assurance period. The water content may be 5.0 to 7.5% by weight.

  According to such a configuration, for a pressure-sensitive sheet that does not cause a toner blocking phenomenon even if it is used in a high-speed electrophotographic printer using a heat roll fixing method, if it is used immediately after unpacking or as it is subjected to a continuous form manufacturing process. A continuous form is obtained.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base sheet of the continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet has a release surface adhesive composition layer formed by mixing fine particle filler in natural rubber latex on one surface of a paper base material. Also, a base paper for a tri-fold type continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet provided with an adhesive composition layer for a non-peeling surface obtained by mixing a fine particle filler in natural rubber latex on the other side, The adhesive strength between the adhesive composition layers is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N / 25 mm, and the amount of silica contained in the fine particle filler mixed in the composition layer is 50 in the total filler. It may be set to 75% by weight.

  According to such a configuration, by increasing the amount of silica, when processed into a continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet, it is possible to achieve air permeability suitable for preventing the toner blocking phenomenon and peeling during delivery. It is possible to achieve an adhesive strength that does not cause tearing and an adhesive strength that does not cause tearing when necessary.

  In another preferable embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive composition layer for the release surface of the base paper for producing the continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet may further contain a synthetic rubber latex.

  According to such a configuration, when the base paper is processed into a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, even if the silica is increased in order to realize a suitable air permeability for preventing the toner blocking phenomenon, the adhesive composition on the release surface Dust detachment does not occur from the physical layer, and suitable adhesive strength can be obtained when processed as a pressure-bonded sheet.

  In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base paper for producing a continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet has an adhesive strength between the non-peeling surface adhesive composition layers of the peeling surface adhesive composition layers. It is higher than the adhesive strength by 0.35 N / 25 mm or more, and the amount of silica in the fine particle filler mixed in the non-peeling surface adhesive composition layer is 10 to 45% by weight in the total filler. May be.

  According to such a configuration, when processed into a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, it is possible to achieve the optimum air permeability for preventing the toner blocking phenomenon, and the adhesive strength of the non-peeling surface is set to that of the peeling surface. By adjusting more strongly, a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet having an optimum adhesive strength as a three-fold type pressure-bonded postcard or the like can be obtained.

  In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a base paper for producing a continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet is configured such that talc is contained in the fine particle filler in the non-peeling surface adhesive composition. May be.

  According to such a configuration, since the mechanical strength on the non-peeling surface side increases, the adhesive composition of the non-peeling surface even when a heavy load is applied in the running system when processed into a continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet A continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet in which dust detachment does not occur from the physical layer is obtained.

  In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base paper for producing the continuous sheet for the pressure-bonding sheet is configured such that the air permeability of the paper substrate is 20 to 40 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117. Also good.

  According to such a configuration, when processed into a continuous sheet for a pressure-bonding sheet, the air permeability of the paper base material itself is low, so that the air permeability of the base paper after coating with the adhesive composition does not cause toner blocking. It becomes easy to adjust so low.

  The adhesive composition for a release surface suitable for the production of a base paper for a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet used in the present invention is obtained by mixing a fine particle filler in a natural rubber latex and the amount of silica in the fine particle filler. Is comprised between 50 and 75% by weight of the total filler.

  According to such a configuration, when a base paper is manufactured by coating on the surface of a paper substrate and processed into a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, a toner blocking phenomenon does not occur and an adhesive property suitable as a pressure-bonding sheet is realized. Is done.

  In preferable embodiment of this invention, you may comprise the adhesive composition for peeling surfaces suitable for manufacture of the base paper of the continuous form for crimp sheets so that synthetic rubber latex may be included.

  According to such a configuration, when a base paper is manufactured by coating on the surface of a paper substrate and processed into a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet, toner blocking phenomenon does not occur, and dust detachment occurs from the adhesive layer. Furthermore, a continuous form for a pressure-bonding sheet having appropriate adhesiveness as a pressure-bonding sheet can be obtained.

  As is apparent from the above description, according to the printing method of the present invention, in the heat roll fixing type high-speed electrophotographic printer, the air permeability and moisture content of the continuous sheet for the pressure-bonding sheet to be supplied are set to specific values. Thus, the toner blocking phenomenon can be prevented.

  In addition, according to the continuous form for a pressure-bonded sheet of the present invention, when the air permeability of the form is set to a specific value when supplied to a heat roll fixing type high-speed electrophotographic printer, the toner blocking phenomenon occurs. Can be prevented.

  Further, according to the base sheet of the continuous sheet for pressure-sensitive sheets of the present invention, the toner blocking phenomenon does not occur when the continuous form for pressure-bonded sheets manufactured from the base paper is supplied to a heat roll fixing type high-speed electrophotographic printer. Moreover, a pressure-bonding sheet having a suitable adhesive force can be produced.

  Furthermore, according to the adhesive layer composition for the release surface of the base paper of the continuous sheet for pressure-bonding sheets of the present invention, the continuous form for pressure-bonding sheets coated with the adhesive composition is a high-speed electrophotographic printer with a heat roll fixing method. When supplied to the toner, a toner blocking phenomenon does not occur, and a suitable adhesive force can be realized.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached screen.

  As described above, the printing method of the present invention is suitable for printing on a pressure-bonding sheet with an electrophotographic printer, and an embodiment of such a printing method of the present invention is applied. An outline of the electrophotographic printer is shown in FIG. In the same figure, 1 is an electrophotographic printer, 2 is a stacked bundle of compressed postcards (before printing), 3 is a pin tractor constituting a feeding mechanism, 4 is a transfer section bar, and 5 is a photosensitive drum. , 6 is a transfer plate, 7 is a corona charger, 8 is a preheat plate (80 ° C.) having a vacuum function, 9 is a preheat plate (100 ° C.), 10 is a heat roll (195 ° C.) for fixing, and 11 is a backing. A roll, 12 is a silicone oil applicator sleeve, and 13 is a stacked continuous form bundle (after printing) for crimped postcards.

  As can be seen from FIG. 1, a trifold type crimped postcard continuous form bundle 2 before printing is set in a paper feed space provided at an appropriate position of the printer 1. When the printer 1 is activated, the continuous form bundle 2 is drawn out in order from the top, and is fed toward the photosensitive drum 5 by engagement between the pin tractor 3 and a feed hole (not shown). While passing under the photosensitive drum 5, a toner image corresponding to the printing content is transferred to the scheduled printing surface of the continuous form in cooperation with the corona charger 7. The continuous form to which the toner image has been transferred is gradually heated while passing through the preheat plate (80 ° C.) 8 and the preheat plate (100 ° C.) 9, and reaches the maximum temperature when it passes through the heat roll (about 200 ° C.) 10. The toner image is completely melted, and the toner image is fixed on the surface of the continuous form. Thereafter, the continuous forms that have passed through the heat roll 10 are immediately folded into a Z-fold shape and stacked as a continuous form bundle 13 after printing in a discharge space provided at an appropriate position of the printer 1.

  When the temperature of the toner images on the continuous form is not sufficiently lowered when folded and stacked in the Z-folded state in the discharge space, the toner images in the melted state are fused and solidified, so-called A toner blocking phenomenon occurs. In the case of a toner of a popular type composition, the melting start temperature is 72 ° C. Therefore, in order to prevent the toner blocking phenomenon, the temperature of the toner image is less than 72 ° C. when it is folded after passing through the heat roll 10. We have the knowledge that it must have declined.

  Therefore, in the present invention, attention is paid to the air permeability and moisture content of the continuous sheet for the pressure-bonding sheet supplied to the electrophotographic printer 1, and the air permeability of the continuous form for the pressure-sensitive sheet supplied to the electrophotographic printer is determined according to JIS P. The measurement by 8117 was 60 to 200 seconds, and the water content was 5.0 to 7.5% by weight. Taking the case of FIG. 1 as an example, it means that the air permeability and moisture content of the continuous form bundle 2 before printing are within the above range.

  When such a configuration is adopted, as will be described in detail later, the continuous form after passing under the heat roll 10 is rapidly cooled, and the temperature of the toner image is lowered to less than 72 ° C. before being folded into a Z-fold shape. To do. Therefore, it was confirmed that the toner blocking phenomenon does not occur.

  The air permeability of the continuous form for pressure-bonding sheets supplied to the electrophotographic printer is set to 60 to 200 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117, and the moisture content of the form before printing is set to 5.0 to 7.5% by weight. For this purpose, it is necessary to appropriately manage the manufacturing process of the base paper and appropriately manage the moisture from the manufactured base paper to the continuous form.

  Here, in order to facilitate the following understanding, the basic structure of the pressure-bonding base paper and the basic process for producing a continuous form from the pressure-bonding base paper will be briefly described.

  Crimped base paper processed into a continuous form for pressure-bonded sheets is provided with an adhesive composition layer on one or both sides of a paper substrate, and is stored and processed in a roll-up state. Shipment to a contractor (converter) is performed. An explanatory view showing the configuration of such a pressure-bonding base paper is shown in FIG.

  The crimping base paper manufactured at the paper mill is packed and processed with polyethylene sheets, kraft paper, etc. for moisture prevention in the state of the crimping base paper roll 14 wound up in a roll shape as shown in FIG. 2 (a). Shipped to contractors. The width W1 of the pressure-bonding base paper roll 14 is appropriately set. In this example, the width W1 is set to about 1020 to 1190 mm.

  FIG. 2B shows a cross-sectional structure of a pressure-bonding base paper manufactured for a three-fold type pressure-bonding postcard. The pressure-bonding base paper shown in the figure has a structure in which a release surface adhesive composition layer 16 is provided on one surface of a paper substrate 15 and a non-release surface adhesive composition layer 17 is provided on the other surface. The adhesive composition layers 16 and 17 have a composition in which a fine particle filler is mixed in the pressure-sensitive adhesive base for adjusting the adhesive force.

  In general, a plurality of continuous sheets for a pressure-bonding sheet are cut out from the pressure-bonding paper roll 14, and an explanatory view showing an example of the relationship between the width of the pressure-bonding paper and the width of the continuous form is shown in FIG. Has been. In the example shown in the figure, a continuous form portion 18 having a width W2 is cut out by, for example, dividing a pressure-bonding base paper having a width W1 into three along the longitudinal direction. In this example, the continuous form width W2 is about 330 mm, for example.

  The continuous form portion 18 cut out from the pressure-bonded base paper was further subjected to fold line (mountain fold, valley fold) processing, perforation processing, feed hole processing, fixed information printing processing, etc., and folded into a Z-fold shape. A continuous form bundle for crimped postcards is completed. FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the continuous post-printed continuous form bundle before printing in such a folded state. In the figure, 19 is a continuous form bundle, 20 is a fold line between single sheets, 21 is a fold line between postcard areas, 22 is a perforation, 23 is a feed hole, and 24 is fixed information.

  The continuous form for the crimping postcard after the variable information is printed is cut into individual sheets and sent to the crimping process. FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the pressure-bonded postcard before such pressure bonding. As shown in the figure, a single postcard 25 of a crimped postcard is divided into three regions, a first postcard region 26, a second postcard region 27, and a third postcard region 28 by a fold line 21. The adhesive composition coating surfaces 26a to 28a for the release surfaces in these areas 26 to 28 are variable information printing scheduled surfaces, and the non-peeling surface adhesive composition coating surfaces 26b to 28b are non-printing scheduled surfaces. . In the crimped postcard, the surface 27a and the surface 28a are allowed to peel off according to the law, but the surface 26b and the surface 27b are not allowed to peel off. Therefore, if the adhesive strength between the surface 27a and the surface 28a is F1, and the adhesive strength between the surface 26b and the surface 27b is F2, the relationship of F1 <F2 is established.

  After the printed post card 25 is printed on the release surfaces 26a to 28a, it is folded and pressed. FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of such a printed crimping postcard sheet just before folding and crimping. As shown in the drawing, the pressure-bonded postcard is completed by pressure-bonding the surfaces 26b and 27b which are non-peeled surfaces and the surfaces 27a and 28a which are peeled surfaces, respectively. After the delivery, the peeled surfaces 27a and 28a are peeled off, but the non-peeled surfaces 26b and 27b are firmly maintained in an adhesive state and are not peeled off.

  Next, on the premise of the basic configuration described above, the features of the crimped base paper and the crimped postcard continuous form which are one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[Air permeability of crimped base paper]
In the present invention, the air permeability of the pressure-bonded base paper is set to 60 to 200 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117. When the air permeability of the pressure-bonding base paper is less than 60 seconds, the heat insulating effect of the adhesive composition coating layer (indicated by reference numerals 16 and 17 in FIG. 2) is reduced, and the temperature of the heat roll and the atmospheric temperature are reduced on the pressure-bonding base paper. It becomes easy to be transmitted. Then, when processed into a continuous form, the temperature becomes too high when passing through the heat roll, and the temperature at the time of folding and stacking does not become less than 72 ° C. Conversely, when the air permeability of the pressure-bonding base paper exceeds 200 seconds, water vapor generated in the pressure-bonding base paper is difficult to escape from the coating layer to the outside. The temperature drop at the time will be impaired.

[Contained moisture in crimped sheets and crimped paper]
When the pressure-bonding base paper is processed into a continuous form and sent to a heat roll of an electrophotographic high-speed printer to fix the toner on the form, a temperature of about 200 ° C. is applied. Thereafter, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the toner to less than 72 ° C., which is a general melting start temperature of toner, before being folded and stacked. For this reason, in the present invention, the moisture content of the continuous sheet for pressure-bonding sheets before printing by the printer is set to 5.0 to 7.5% by weight by the absolute dry weight method. When the moisture content of the continuous form immediately before printing is maintained within the above range, the toner temperature during lamination can be lowered to less than 72 ° C. in combination with the air permeability condition described above. If the moisture content of the form is less than 5.0% by weight, the temperature of the form after passing through the heat roll does not become less than 72 ° C. Conversely, if the moisture content of the form exceeds 7.5% by weight, the temperature of the form after passing through the heat roll will drop below 72 ° C, but the amount of vaporized water will increase and condensation will occur in the printer.

  In the present invention, the method for adjusting the moisture content of the form is not particularly limited. For example, the moisture content at the time of manufacturing the pressure-bonding base paper is set to about 6.0 to 6.5% by weight, and the polyethylene sheet and kraft paper can be quickly used after the production. Even in the case of sealed packaging and processing in a converter (processing company), unpacking and unpacking immediately before processing, re-sealing immediately after processing, and unpacking and unpacking immediately before applying to the printer also in the printer Conceivable. In addition, various generally known methods for adjusting the moisture content, such as adjusting the humidity in a room adjusted to an appropriate humidity, can be used.

[Paper base material for crimping base paper]
In the pressure-bonding base paper of the present invention, as the paper base, various coated papers can be used in addition to information paper such as foam paper, high-quality paper, medium-quality paper, OCR paper and the like. Moreover, non-wood raw materials such as waste paper, waste paper pulp and kenaf, bagasse, bamboo and the like generated in the process can be used for the fiber raw material of the base material in consideration of environmental aspects. The air permeability of the paper substrate is set to be 20 to 40 seconds as measured by JIS P 8117. If the air permeability of the paper substrate itself exceeds 40 seconds, it becomes difficult to set the air permeability after coating the adhesive composition to 200 seconds or less. Conversely, when it is less than 20 seconds, the coating suitability and the printability of the adhesive composition layer deteriorate.

[Adhesive base]
In the present invention, natural rubber latex is used as the non-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive used as the base of the adhesive. In particular, natural rubber latex obtained by graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene to natural rubber, natural rubber latex mixed with methyl methacrylate, natural rubber latex and protective colloid acrylic copolymer emulsion Mixtures and the like are preferred. Natural rubber has excellent self-adhesiveness against pressure, and the adhesive strength of the adhesive to the base paper is enhanced by the acrylic resin modified into natural rubber.

[Fine particle filler]
By blending fine particle fillers having different particle sizes into the pressure-sensitive adhesive base, irregularities are formed on the surface of the adhesive composition layer, and the blocking resistance of the pressure-bonding base paper is improved. Further, by forming appropriate irregularities on the surface of the adhesive composition layer, the fixability of the toner printed on the printing surface is improved.

  As the fine particle filler in the present invention, among the fine particle fillers generally used conventionally, a mixture of silica and starch is used on the release surface side, and a mixture of silica, starch and talc is used on the non-release surface side. preferable.

  The starch used in the present invention is preferably wheat starch having a true sphere shape and a particle size of 4 to 20 μm. Starch provides blocking resistance and buffering properties to the adhesive, and also provides smoothness to the surface of the adhesive composition layer. When the starch particle size is less than 4 μm, the effect of blocking resistance is inferior. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 20 μm, the adhesive force between the printing surfaces becomes weak.

  The silica used in the present invention preferably has a particle size of 1 μm to 5 μm. Silica is particularly used for adjusting the air permeability of the adhesive composition layer, but when the particle size of the silica is less than 1 μm, the viscosity of the paint increases when adjusting the adhesive composition, Coating suitability deteriorates. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 5 μm, the photosensitive drum of an electrophotographic high-speed printer may be damaged.

  The talc used in the present invention preferably has a particle size of 2 μm to 5 μm. Talc is used to improve the strength of the adhesive composition layer. However, when the particle size of talc is less than 2 μm, the viscosity of the coating increases when the adhesive composition is adjusted, and the coating suitability deteriorates. . On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 5 μm, the photosensitive drum of an electrophotographic high-speed printer may be damaged.

[Composition of adhesive composition layer for release surface]
In the adhesive composition layer on the release surface (printing surface) of the pressure-bonding base paper, 150 to 250 parts by weight of the fine particle filler is blended with 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the blending amount of the fine particle filler is less than 150 parts by weight, the adhesive force between the print surfaces becomes too strong at 1.5 N / 25 mm or more, and the print surface is torn when peeling. Conversely, if the blending amount of the fine particle filler exceeds 250 parts by weight, the adhesive strength between the printed surfaces becomes 0.5 N / 25 mm or less, which is too weak, and peeling occurs during delivery, such as when creating a postcard. .

[Composition of non-peeling adhesive composition layer]
In the adhesive composition layer on the non-peeling surface (non-printing surface) of the pressure-bonding base paper, 100 parts by weight to 200 parts by weight of the fine particle filler is blended with 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. In a three-fold crimped postcard, it is necessary that the non-printing surface does not peel when the printing surface is peeled off. Therefore, the compounding amount of the fine particle filler of the adhesive composition layer is made smaller than that of the printing surface so that the adhesive strength of the non-printing surface is stronger than that of the printing surface. In the adhesive composition layer on the non-printing surface, the difference in adhesive strength was adjusted by blending the blending ratio of the fine particle filler with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex to 50 parts by weight compared to the printing surface.

[Fine particle filler of adhesive composition layer for release surface]
Silica and starch are added as fine particle fillers to the adhesive composition layer on the release surface (printing surface) of the pressure-bonding base paper. The blending amount of silica is desirably adjusted so as to be 100 to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the amount of silica is less than 100 parts by weight, the air permeability of the pressure-bonded base paper exceeds 200 seconds. On the other hand, if the amount exceeds 150 parts by weight, the silica easily detaches from the adhesive composition layer, which causes printer contamination due to dust. Moreover, it is desirable to adjust the blending amount of starch so as to be 50 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the amount of starch is less than 50 parts by weight, the blocking resistance of the pressure-bonding base paper is deteriorated, and the product made of the web is bonded by its own weight during storage. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 100 parts by weight, the adhesive strength becomes weak when the form is pressure-bonded with a sealer and laminated. In view of the above, in order to satisfy the air permeability condition (described above) while maintaining the adhesive strength of the release surface within a desired range (described later), in the all fine particle filler of the adhesive composition layer for peeling The amount of silica is preferably 50 to 75% by weight.

[Fine particle filler of adhesive composition layer for non-peeling surface]
Moreover, silica, starch, and talc are mix | blended as a fine particle filler in the adhesive composition layer of the non-peeling surface (non-printing surface) of the crimping base paper. The amount of silica is desirably adjusted to 20 to 60 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the amount of silica is less than 20 parts by weight, the air permeability of the pressure-bonding base paper exceeds 200 seconds. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 60 parts by weight, the silica is easily detached from the adhesive composition layer, which causes contamination of the printer with dust. It is desirable to adjust the amount of starch to be 40 to 70 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the starch content is less than 40 parts by weight, the blocking resistance of the pressure-bonding base paper is deteriorated, and the product made of the web is adhered by its own weight during storage. On the other hand, if it exceeds 70 parts by weight, the adhesive strength becomes weak when the form is pressure-bonded with a sealer and laminated. The amount of talc is preferably adjusted to 40 to 70 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. The talc is added to strengthen the adhesive composition layer. When the blending amount of talc is less than 40 parts by weight, the effect of strengthening the adhesive composition layer is weakened, which becomes a factor of dust detaching from the adhesive composition layer. On the other hand, even if it exceeds 70 parts by weight, the effect of strengthening the adhesive composition layer has reached saturation, which becomes a factor of dust detaching from the adhesive composition layer. Based on the above, in order to satisfy the air permeability condition while maintaining the adhesive strength of the non-peeling surface within a desired range, the amount of silica in the total fine particle filler of the non-peeling adhesive composition layer Is preferably 10 to 45% by weight.

[Addition of synthetic rubber latex to release surface adhesive composition layer]
Silica added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive base easily detaches from the adhesive composition layer of the form, and thus causes printer contamination due to dust. Therefore, a synthetic rubber latex is added to the adhesive composition layer on the release surface (printing surface) of the pressure-bonding base paper containing a large amount of silica in order to reinforce the adhesive composition layer. Examples of the synthetic rubber-based latex that can be used in the present invention include styrene-butadiene latex, methacrylate butadiene latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene latex, acrylic styrene latex, and the like, preferably styrene-butadiene latex, particularly preferably It is a styrene butadiene latex having a glass transition point of 10 to 30 ° C. The synthetic rubber latex is blended in an amount of 10 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the natural rubber latex. When the glass transition point of the synthetic rubber latex is less than 10 ° C., the curing strength of the adhesive composition layer becomes weak, and it becomes impossible to prevent the printer from being contaminated by dust such as silica. On the contrary, if it exceeds 30 ° C., the curing strength of the adhesive composition layer becomes too strong, and the adhesive strength between the printing surfaces is lowered. On the other hand, when the compounding amount of the synthetic rubber latex is less than 10 parts by weight, the effect of improving the strength of the adhesive composition layer is weakened, and it becomes impossible to prevent the printer from being contaminated by dust such as silica. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the adhesive strength between the printed surfaces is reduced.

[Coating of adhesive composition]
Said adhesive composition is set to the range used as the adhesive composition layer of 2-10 g / m < ² > by solid content per side. When the adhesive composition layer is less than 2 g / m ² , the adhesive strength becomes 0.5 N / 25 mm or less and becomes too weak. If the adhesive composition layer exceeds 10 g / m ² , the adhesive strength exceeds 1.5 N / 25 mm, the printed surface is torn when peeled, and the air permeability exceeds 200 seconds, resulting in toner blocking. The phenomenon will occur. As a coating method of the adhesive composition, coating by a coating method such as an air knife coater, a blade coater, a curtain coater, a bar coater, flexographic printing, or screen printing is preferable.

[Adhesive strength of crimped base paper]
The adhesive strength of the pressure-bonding base paper of the present invention is preferably 0.5 to 1.5 N / 25 mm on the release surface. Moreover, it is preferable that the adhesive strength of a non-peeling surface is higher than the adhesive strength of a peeling surface, More preferably, it is 0.35 N / 25mm or more higher than the adhesive strength of a peeling surface. The pressure-bonding base paper according to the present invention does not normally bond the adhesive composition layers, and can be bonded when a specific pressure condition is applied. When the information description surfaces are bonded to each other, it is necessary to improve the fixability of the toner to the bonding surface in consideration of the smoothness of the paper surface so that the printed toner does not transfer to the opposite surface.

<Comparative Example 8>

<Comparative Example 9>
The same procedure as in Example 1 was performed except that the moisture content of the form was changed to 8.0% by weight. The air permeability of the pressure-bonded base paper was 250 seconds.

  The forms obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were evaluated for adhesive strength, form temperature after printing, toner blocking phenomenon, and printer contamination due to dust.

<Adhesive strength of printed surface>
The forms created in the examples and comparative examples were conditioned at 23 ° C. and 50% RH, and then cut into a standard postcard size. The first and second sheets, the second sheet, the second sheet and the third sheet 3 sheets are stacked so that the backs of the two are aligned, pressure-bonded with a dry sealer MS-9000 (Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.) with a roll gap of 190 μm, and a test of 25 mm (width) × 100 mm (length) Cut into pieces. With respect to this test piece, the tensile strength rate was set to 300 mm / min with TCM-2kNB (manufactured by Minebea Co., Ltd.), and the adhesive strength by T-type peeling was measured.

  The adhesive strength of the printing surface must be 0.5 to 1.5 N / 25 mm. If the adhesive strength is less than 0.5 N / 25 mm, the adhesive strength is too weak. Therefore, when used in postcard applications, there is a risk of peeling during mailing. On the other hand, if the adhesive strength exceeds 1.5 N / 25 mm, the adhesive strength is too strong, and the postcard surface may be torn when the release surface is opened.

<Temperature after printing>
After the forms created in the examples and comparative examples were printed on the release surface using IBM-3900 (manufactured by IBM Japan), a rod thermometer was inserted near the center of the stacked forms, The temperature reached was read. In order not to cause the toner blocking phenomenon, it is preferable that the temperature of the sheet laminated after printing is less than 72 ° C., which is a general toner melting temperature.

<Toner blocking phenomenon>
After the forms created in the examples and comparative examples were printed on the release surface using IBM-3900 (manufactured by IBM Japan, Ltd.), the sheets were laminated after the temperature of the laminated forms decreased to the ambient temperature. The printed form was turned over and the printed state was visually confirmed using a magnifying glass.

The evaluation was made in three stages, ◯, Δ, and X. The case where the toner blocking phenomenon does not occur is indicated as ◯, the case where the toner blocking phenomenon occurs partially is indicated as △, and the case where the toner blocking phenomenon occurs entirely is indicated as ×. .
<Contamination of printer due to dust detachment from forms>

  The forms created in the examples and comparative examples were printed on the release surface using IBM-3900 (manufactured by IBM Japan, Ltd.), and then the contamination due to dust on the photosensitive drum and the running system was visually confirmed.

  The evaluation is performed in three stages, ◯, △, and ×. If the contamination from the dust from the adhesive layer is not generated on the photosensitive drum or the running system, ◯, and if the contamination is slightly generated, △, When contamination has occurred severely, it evaluated as x.

The test results are summarized in Table 1.

  The forms obtained in Example 1 and Example 2 have good adhesive strength and release state on the release surface, and the form temperature during lamination is lower than 72 ° C., which is a general melting temperature of toner, and toner blocking. Since the phenomenon does not occur and the printer is not contaminated by the detachment of dust from the adhesive layer, it has been confirmed that it can be sufficiently put into practical use.

  The form obtained in Comparative Example 1 has a coating amount of the adhesive composition layer layer of the form, so that the adhesive strength of the release surface becomes too strong, and the tear occurs when the release surface is peeled off. Since the air permeability was as high as 1300 seconds, a toner blocking phenomenon occurred, and it was confirmed that it could not be put to practical use.

  Since the form obtained in Comparative Example 2 has a small amount of fine particle filler in the adhesive composition layer, the adhesive strength becomes too strong, and tears occur when the release surface is peeled off. Since the temperament was relatively high at 600 seconds, it was confirmed that a toner blocking phenomenon occurred and it could not be put to practical use.

  The form obtained in Comparative Example 3 has a low adhesive strength due to the large amount of fine particle filler in the adhesive composition layer, and also causes contamination of the printer due to dust detachment from the adhesive composition layer. Therefore, it was confirmed that it could not be put to practical use.

  Since the form obtained in Comparative Example 4 has a large amount of styrene-butadiene latex, the adhesive strength is too weak and the air permeability is relatively high at 300 seconds. Produced.

  In the form obtained in Comparative Example 5, since the styrene-butadiene latex used had a low glass transition point, the adhesive composition layer on the release surface (printing surface) was insufficiently cured, and the release surface Due to dust detachment from the adhesive composition layer, the printer was slightly contaminated.

  In the form obtained in Comparative Example 6, since the used styrene-butadiene latex had a high glass transition point, the adhesive composition layer on the release surface (printing surface) was cured, and the adhesive strength of the release surface was high. Slightly decreased. Further, since the air permeability of the pressure-bonding base paper is relatively high at 220 seconds, a toner blocking phenomenon partially occurred.

  Since the form obtained in Comparative Example 7 does not use silica as a fine particle filler, the air permeability of the form is as high as 800 seconds, the form temperature after passing through the heat roll is increased, and the toner blocking phenomenon is caused. It was confirmed that it could not be put to practical use.

  The form obtained in Comparative Example 8 had a relatively low moisture content of 4.0% by weight, so that the amount of heat taken away from the form as water vapor decreased, resulting in a toner blocking phenomenon. Moreover, the adhesive strength of the peeled surface was weakened due to a decrease in the moisture content of the form.

  In the form obtained in Comparative Example 9, the moisture content was increased to 8.0% by weight, so that the toner blocking phenomenon did not occur and the printer was not contaminated. However, condensation occurred in the printer, which caused problems in printer maintenance. It was confirmed that there is.
