ものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Applications] The present invention relates to a water-based ink recording material, and more particularly to an inkjet printer paper having excellent dimensional stability and improved appearance after printing, that is, a recording sheet. It is related to.

被記録用シートの要求が出てきた。[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Improvements in inkjet printers and inks that use water-based inks have made it possible to use plain paper as inkjet paper and obtain clear images and prints. However, in order to make the quality, saturation, appearance, and images of prints more attractive, there has been a demand for paper with more advanced characteristics, that is, recording sheets.

案されている。Conventionally, inkjet paper has been made using sizeless paper to improve ink absorption, or paper with an absorbent coating layer such as silica on virtually sizeless paper (
(Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-27588), or paper in which an absorbent coating layer containing silica as a main component is provided on a non-water-absorbing base material such as high-size paper or plastic film in order to improve the color density (Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-27588). -65037) has been proposed.

ルやぼこつきの原因となる。Among these papers, base paper absorption type inkjet paper has a good balance of cost, texture, and performance and is expected to be used as conventional inkjet paper. The base paper of this type of paper has good ink absorption properties, and the ink is absorbed inside the paper layer, leaving the paper with an appearance of dryness. Both are required to hold back. Since paper with high ink absorbency is likely to be deformed greatly by water-based ink, these two conditions generally cause problems. For example, if the absorption speed is increased by using a small paper size, the ink will penetrate faster and deeper, causing curling and bumpiness.

ストも高くなる。On the other hand, by providing an absorbent coating layer on a high-sized base paper, the absorption speed of only the absorbent coating layer can be increased, and ink absorption into the base paper can be suppressed. However, if the ink absorption limit of the absorbent coating layer is exceeded, it may cause bleeding, and ink absorption often increases the curl of the paper as a whole. It also becomes more expensive.

としての実用性には疑問がある。In Japanese Patent Publication No. 6:3-52588, a proposal has been made to weaken the bonds between fibers of pulp and reduce curling and unevenness by incorporating glass fibers and a large amount of water-absorbing pigment. However, its practicality as printer paper is questionable because of various problems in use due to the addition of glass fibers and the loss of paper strength.

れていない。BACKGROUND ART Papers that have good dimensional stability against changes in moisture and humidity have been known so far, and are used as OCR paper, NIP paper, and the like. However, there are still no known techniques or properties that can reduce or improve the cause of paper blurring and curl caused by water-based ink.

提供することを目的とする。The present invention is a recording material for multi-color or single-color inkjet printers using water-based ink, which has a fast ink absorption speed, a large absorption capacity, minimal dusting and curling, and can print at high speed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inkjet paper, that is, a recording material, which can overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.

きを改善するものである。The inkjet recording sheet of the present invention is mainly composed of cellulose pulp, and the residual stress inside the paper, which causes variations in elongation in ice and curl within a unit sheet, which is the cause of lumpiness, is moisturized. Then, by leaving the ink still under tension, the problem is resolved and the smudge caused by the water-based ink is improved.

2の割合で設けたことを特徴とする。In the present invention, a highly water-absorbent pigment and an aqueous polymer adhesive are applied onto a paper sheet that has been dried to a moisture content of 6% or less, then humidified with a moisture content of 1% or more, and placed under tension to eliminate residual stress. 0.5 to 15 g/m of the aqueous ink receptive coating layer as a component
It is characterized in that it is provided at a ratio of 2.

る。In particular, as a result of observing the bumping phenomenon caused by water-based ink on high-quality paper made using a regular fourdrinier multi-tube paper machine, we found that the bumping caused by water-based ink, which causes problems in appearance, occurs with a period of several mm to several centimeters. It was found that this was due to variations in underwater elongation and curl. In order to solve such problems caused by variations in the physical behavior of paper, we believe that it is important to alleviate the residual stress inside the paper sheet that causes the problem. Although the absolute value of the underwater elongation of paper made from cellulose pulp cannot be reduced below a certain level, its variation can be reduced by stress relaxation.

トしたところ、コツクリングが顕著であった。When we observed the kokkuri phenomenon caused by water-based ink on a sample sheet, we found that it was made using a normal Fourdrinier multi-tube paper machine, and then placed on a dry base paper, containing a highly water-absorbing pigment and a water-soluble polymer adhesive as the main ingredients. When printing was performed using an aqueous inkjet printer on an inkjet paper provided with an aqueous ink receptive coating layer, noticeable curling was observed.

プリントしたところ、コツクリングが軽減された。However, in order to evaluate the aesthetic appearance, similar paper was made using a regular Fourdrinier multitubular paper machine, dried, humidified, rolled up under tension, and stored to relieve stress. When we made a prototype of inkjet paper and printed it on a water-based inkjet printer, we found that the scratching was reduced.
美感の評価などから、加湿条件として水分6%以下に乾
燥した後、水分で1%以上加湿し、張力下に置くのが好
ましい。From the viewpoint of aesthetic evaluation, it is preferable to dry the material to a moisture content of 6% or less, then humidify it with moisture of 1% or more, and place it under tension.

性を達成した。In this way, a water-based ink-receptive coating layer containing a highly water-absorbing pigment and a water-soluble polymer adhesive as main components is applied to a paper sheet that has reduced irregular expansion/contraction and curling due to moisture changes.
When a base paper absorption type ink genie/t paper was manufactured by applying the water-based ink at a ratio of 0.5 to 15 g/m2, the water absorption rate of the base paper was still high, but there were no lumps or dimensional changes due to water-based ink absorption. This achieved optimal ink image receptivity.

用シートが得られることを見出したものである。In order to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above, the present inventors have
As a result of various studies, we applied a coating liquid containing super-absorbent fine particles and a water-soluble polymer adhesive as main components to a sheet-like support that has been paper-formed or post-processed to minimize deviations in elongation in water of the above-mentioned paper. The inventors have discovered that an excellent inkjet recording sheet free from unevenness can be obtained by coating and drying to form an ink-receptive coating layer.
本発明の記録用シートの構成はシート状支持体を吸収体
として用いる構成が考えられるが、本発明の要件を満た
すかぎり、これ以外の構成を排除するものではない。The recording sheet of the present invention may have a configuration in which a sheet-like support is used as an absorbent body, but other configurations are not excluded as long as the requirements of the present invention are met.

の好ましい手段の一つである。In the present invention, by using highly water-absorbing fine particles such as synthetic silicic acid and a water-soluble polymer adhesive as components of the ink-receptive coating layer, permeability is imparted to the ink-receptive coating layer, and the shape of the ink dots is By controlling the spread, clear images are achieved. Adding a cationic vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion to the ink-receptive coating layer improves permeability, shape of ink dots,
This is one of the preferred means of achieving the objectives of the present invention, which further improves spread control.
