It was measured with "EYO-55-1M” manufactured by Co., Ltd.).
- the average pore diameter of the print-receiving layer was determined by the following method. The surface of the target layer was observed using a scanning electron microscope, the observed image was imported into an image analysis device, and the observed area was image analyzed to determine the average pore diameter of the pores on the surface.
- solvent inkjet printing A sample image was printed on the print-receiving layer side surface of the recording paper using a solvent inkjet printer "SureColor SC-S80650" (manufactured by Seiko Epson Corporation).
- gauze impregnated with 20 ⁇ L of pure water at room temperature was attached to a weight with a weight of 215 g, and the surface of the printed image area was rubbed with this weight 100 times, and the degree of ink removal was visually observed. Observed. Abrasion was evaluated based on the following criteria. 5 (Good): 95% or more of the rubbed image portion remained. 4 (Good): 90% or more of the rubbed image portion remained. 3 (fair, practical lower limit): 80% or more of the rubbed image portion remained. 2 (unacceptable, not suitable for practical use): 70% or more of the rubbed image portion remained.
- the residual rate of the rubbed image portion was less than 70%.
- the adhesive side of cellophane tape manufactured by Nichiban Co., Ltd., trade name: Cellotape (registered trademark) CT-18
- the residual rate of ink on the recording paper was measured using a small general-purpose image analysis device (manufactured by Nireco, model name: LUZEX-AP). was calculated.
- the image obtained by photographing the printed surface was subjected to binarization processing, and the percentage of the area occupied by the ink was calculated as the residual rate.
- Ink adhesion was evaluated based on the calculated residual rate of ink using the following criteria. 5 (Good): The residual rate of ink was 80% or more. 3 (fair, practical lower limit): The residual rate of ink was 50% or more and less than 80%. 1 (unacceptable, not suitable for practical use): The residual rate of ink was less than 50%.
- Blocking A solid black color is printed on the print-receiving layer side surface of the recording paper using a solvent inkjet printer "SureColor SC-S80650" (manufactured by Seiko Epson Corporation). After being stored for one day in an atmosphere of 40° C. and 50% relative humidity, it was observed whether it was possible to pull out smoothly from the roll without causing blocking. Blocking was evaluated based on the following criteria. 5 (Good): The sample could be pulled out smoothly without any peeling sound. 3 (fair, practical lower limit): There was a peeling sound, but the appearance of the base material layer after taking it off was not impaired. 1 (unsuitable, not suitable for practical use): There was a loud peeling sound, and the appearance of the base material layer after being removed was impaired.
- Super accelerated weathering tester manufactured by Daipra Wintes Co., Ltd., product name "Metal Weather KU-R5N-A", metal halide lamp type) and a glass filter "KF-2 filter” that transmits ultraviolet light of 295 to 450 nm ( (product name) was used.
- the irradiance on the surface of the test piece was 90 W/m 2 and the black panel temperature was 63°C.
- the acceleration treatment was carried out in two cycles, with one cycle consisting of 5 hours of exposure at a temperature of 63°C and a relative humidity of 50% and 3 hours of exposure at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 98%. Therefore, the radiation exposure to the printed surface was 5.18 ⁇ 10 6 J/m 2 .
- the test piece subjected to the weather resistance promotion treatment was subjected to a friction test and evaluation in the same manner as in the case of abrasion resistance. 5 (Good): 95% or more of the rubbed image portion remained. 3 (fair, practical lower limit): 80% or more of the rubbed image portion remained. 1 (unacceptable, not suitable for practical use): The residual rate of the rubbed image portion was less than 80%.
- the recording papers of Examples 1 to 14 were equipped with a print-receiving layer, a liquid-absorbing layer, and a predetermined coating layer, had a liquid-absorbing speed within a specific range, and had a liquid-absorbing amount of at least a specific value. As a result, we were able to achieve both excellent print quality, drying properties, and weather resistance. On the other hand, the recording papers of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 had results that were not suitable for practical use in any one or more evaluation items, and were unable to achieve both print quality, drying performance, and weather resistance.
- Comparing Examples 1 to 3 there was a tendency for the liquid absorption rate to increase as the basis weight of the print-receiving layer decreased. Additionally, in conjunction with this, in the recording papers of Examples 1 to 3, there was a tendency for the evaluation of bleeding to be better as the liquid absorption rate increased. Comparing Examples 3 and 4, in Example 3, the basis weight of the liquid-absorbing layer was larger and the amount of liquid absorbed was larger. The recording paper of Example 3 had a better evaluation of drying properties than the recording paper of Example 4. Comparing Examples 1, 5, and 6, it is found that the type (average particle size and surface treatment) and composition of the filler used in the print-receiving layer are different, which causes the average pore size of the print-receptor layer to differ and the liquid absorption rate to change.
- Example 10 has a larger coating amount of the coat layer after drying and a lower liquid absorption rate.
- the recording paper of Example 1 had a better evaluation of bleeding than the recording paper of Example 10. Comparing Examples 1 and 11, the coating compositions used for the coating layers are different. The recording paper of Example 11 had a better scratch evaluation than the recording paper of Example 1 by using a water-dispersible resin in the coating composition. Comparing Examples 1 and 12, although the number of stretching axes of the support layer was different, the evaluation results for the recording sheets of Examples 1 and 12 were the same. Comparing Examples 11 and 13, the recording paper of Example 13 had a better evaluation of bleeding because the coating composition was composed only of an aqueous binder.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 1 has a coating layer containing a pigment, but the coating layer contains a large amount of inorganic filler.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 1 had an evaluation result that was not suitable for practical use in terms of abrasion resistance compared to the recording paper of Example 1 in which the coating layer did not contain an inorganic filler.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 2 includes a layer containing a vinyl chloride copolymer, and does not include a porous layer such as a coating layer, a print-receiving layer, or a liquid-absorbing layer.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 2 had evaluation results that were not suitable for practical use in terms of waviness, blocking, and weather resistance.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 3 does not have a porous layer, both the amount of liquid absorbed and the rate of liquid absorption are too small.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 2 had evaluation results that were unsuitable for practical use in terms of bleeding and drying.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 4 does not have a coat layer.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 4 had evaluation results that were not suitable for practical use in terms of density, scratching, and ink fixation.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 5 has too little liquid absorption.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 5 had an evaluation result that was not suitable for practical use regarding drying.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 6 has too little liquid absorption.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 6 had evaluation results that were unsuitable for practical use in terms of bleeding and drying.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 7 has a liquid absorption rate that is too high.
- the recording paper of Comparative Example 7 had evaluation results that were not suitable for practical use in terms of density and scratches.
