Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、オフセット輪転印刷時の乾燥工程後に発生するひじわの発生が少なく、優れた印刷適性を備えたオフセット印刷用塗工紙に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、印刷物に対し、写真や図案を多用し、更にカラー化するなどにより、視覚的に内容を強力に伝達しようとする(以下視覚化という)強い要望がある。一方、省資源、輸送コストなどの点から印刷物の軽量化に対しても強い要望がある。この二つの要望は相反するものであって、視覚化に適する高級グレードの塗工紙は原紙坪量、塗工量とも多く、高価であって、軽量、低価格の要望にそぐわない。そこで、低坪量、低塗工量のいわゆる低級グレードの塗工紙で、より上のグレードの品質を実現する技術が求められる。
【0003】
塗工紙品質の重要項目のひとつに、オフセット輪転印刷の乾燥過程で発生するひじわがあげられる。オフセット輪転印刷の乾燥工程で、非画線部とインキで覆われている画線部では紙中水分の蒸発速度が異なる。非画線部は、画線部と比較して水分蒸発速度が速いため、先に収縮が始まり、画線部に流れ方向(抄紙方向)のひじわが発生する。ひじわは、坪量が低い場合、顕著に発生するため、塗工紙の軽量化の大きな障害になる。
【0004】
ひじわは紙中水分の蒸発速度の差に起因しているため、印刷前の塗工紙水分を低くすることがひじわ抑制には効果がある。しかし、塗工紙水分を低くした場合、ひじわは相対的に低くなるが、完全に解決するまでには至らない。
【0005】
また、特開平11−350391号公報では、ケン化度が85モル%以上であるポリビニルアルコールを原紙の両面に対し、乾燥重量で1〜6g/mとなるように塗布、乾燥されてなる原紙を使用することにより収縮挙動を抑制させることも提案されている。しかし、PVAは粘度が高く塗工適性に劣るため、連続操業には不向きであり、耐ブリスター性に劣る場合があった。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような状況に鑑みて、本発明の課題は、オフセット輪転印刷時の乾燥工程後に発生するひじわの発生が少なく、優れた印刷適性を備えたオフセット印刷用塗工紙を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、上記課題について鋭意研究した結果、原紙上の顔料および接着剤を含有する塗工層を設けてなるオフセット輪転印刷用塗工紙において、原紙にアルギン酸と澱粉からなるクリアー塗工層を設けた、あるいは/及び顔料塗工層上に表面サイズ剤とプラスチックピグメントからなる表面層を設けた塗工紙であり、印刷前の透気抵抗度が80000秒未満であることにより、非画線部と画線部の水分蒸発速度の差が小さくなり、ひじわの少ない優れた印刷適性を備えたオフセット輪転印刷用塗工紙を得ることができ、その製造方法により、前記課題が解決されることを見いだし本発明を完成した。
【0008】
本発明においては、印刷前の透気抵抗度(王研式透気抵抗度)が80000秒未満、より好ましくは70000秒未満であることが重要である。印刷前の透気抵抗度が80000秒以上の場合、オフセット輪転印刷後に透気抵抗度が8000秒以上低下したとしても、透気抵抗度の絶対値は高いままである。透気抵抗度が高い場合、インキがのった画線部でブリスターが発生し易くなり、オフセット輪転印刷には適さない。
【0009】
また、印刷後非画線部の透気抵抗度が印刷前に対して8000秒以上、より好ましくは20000秒以上低くなることが重要であり、これにより、非画線部と画線部の透気抵抗度の差が小さくなり、ひじわの発生が抑えられる。本発明において、印刷後非画線部の透気抵坑度を8000秒以上低下させることにより、ひじわが抑えられる理由については、必ずしも明らかでないが以下のように考えられる。即ち、オフセット輪転印刷の乾燥時に、塗工層表面に微小なクラックが発生し、選択的に空気が抜け、非画線部の透気抵坑度が低くなり、インキがのった画線部部分の透気抵坑度も通常よりも低くなるために、非画線部と画線部の透気抵坑度の差が小さくなり、非画線部と画線部の水分蒸発速度差が小さくなることにより、ひじわの発生が抑えられると考えられる。透気抵抗度の低下が8000秒未満の場合、非画線部と画線部の透気抵抗度の差が大きく、ひじわを十分に抑制することは困難である。
【0010】
また、非画線部と画線部の透気抵抗度の差としては、4色重ね印刷部と非画線部で40000秒以内にすることにより、ひじわの抑制効果が顕著になる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】

本発明により、オフセット輪転印刷時の乾燥工程後に発生するひじわの発生が少なく、優れた印刷適性を備えたオフセット印刷用塗工紙を得ることができる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coated paper for offset printing that has less wrinkles generated after the drying step during offset rotary printing and has excellent printability.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, there has been a strong demand for printed contents to be transmitted visually (hereinafter referred to as visualization) by using a lot of photographs and designs, and further colorizing them. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for weight reduction of printed matter from the viewpoint of resource saving and transportation cost. These two demands are contradictory, and high-grade coated paper suitable for visualization has a large basis weight and coating weight, is expensive, is not suitable for light weight and low price. Therefore, there is a demand for a technology that realizes a higher grade quality with a so-called lower grade coated paper having a low basis weight and a low coating weight.
[0003]
One important item of coated paper quality is wrinkles that occur during the drying process of web offset printing. In the drying process of offset rotary printing, the evaporation rate of moisture in the paper differs between the non-image area and the image area covered with ink. Since the non-image area has a higher moisture evaporation rate than the image area, the shrinkage starts first, and a wrinkle in the flow direction (paper making direction) is generated in the image area. Since wrinkles are prominently generated when the basis weight is low, it becomes a major obstacle to reducing the weight of the coated paper.
[0004]
Since the wrinkles are caused by the difference in the evaporation rate of the moisture in the paper, it is effective to suppress the wrinkles by reducing the moisture of the coated paper before printing. However, when the water content of the coated paper is lowered, the wrinkles are relatively low, but cannot be completely solved.
[0005]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-350391 discloses a base paper obtained by applying and drying polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification degree of 85 mol% or more to both sides of the base paper so that the dry weight is 1 to 6 g / m 2. It has also been proposed to suppress the contraction behavior by using. However, since PVA has a high viscosity and is inferior in coating suitability, it is unsuitable for continuous operation and may have inferior blister resistance.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of such a situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a coated paper for offset printing that has less wrinkles generated after the drying step during offset rotary printing and has excellent printability. .
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of diligent research on the above problems, the present inventors have made a clear coating comprising alginic acid and starch on a base paper in a coated paper for offset rotary printing comprising a coating layer containing a pigment and an adhesive on the base paper. provided with a layer, or / and a coated paper having a surface layer composed of a surface sizing agent and plastic pigment in the pigment coating layer, air resistance before printing by der Rukoto than 80,000 seconds, The difference in moisture evaporation rate between the non-image area and the image area is reduced, and it is possible to obtain a coated paper for offset rotary printing having excellent printability with less wrinkles. The present invention has been completed by finding that it can be solved.
[0008]
In the present invention, it is important that the air resistance before printing (Oken air resistance) is less than 80000 seconds, more preferably less than 70000 seconds. When the air resistance before printing is 80000 seconds or more, the absolute value of the air resistance remains high even if the air resistance decreases by 8000 seconds or more after offset rotary printing. When the air permeation resistance is high, blistering is likely to occur in the image area where the ink is applied, and is not suitable for offset rotary printing.
[0009]
In addition, it is important that the air resistance of the non-image portion after printing is lower than that before printing by 8000 seconds or more, more preferably 20000 seconds or more. The difference in air resistance becomes smaller and the generation of elbows is suppressed. In the present invention, the reason why wrinkles can be suppressed by reducing the air permeability of the non-image area after printing for 8000 seconds or more is not necessarily clear, but is considered as follows. That is, when the rotary printing is dried, minute cracks are generated on the surface of the coating layer, air is selectively released, the air permeability of the non-image area is lowered, and the image area where ink is applied Since the air permeability of the portion is also lower than usual, the difference in the air permeability of the non-image area and the image area is reduced, and the difference in the water evaporation rate between the non-image area and the image area is reduced. It is considered that generation of elbows can be suppressed by decreasing the size. When the decrease in the air resistance is less than 8000 seconds, there is a large difference in the air resistance between the non-image area and the image area, and it is difficult to sufficiently suppress the wrinkles.
[0010]
In addition, the difference in the air resistance between the non-image area and the image area is set within 40000 seconds between the four-color overlap printing area and the non-image area, so that the effect of suppressing the wrinkles becomes remarkable.
[0011]
