Preparation of water polyacrylate coated trademark fabrics and its inkjet printing performance

Rich mineral paper has been applied in many fields. The effects of coating using precipitated silica mixed with colloidal silica on the ink-jet printability of the rich mineral paper were investigated as the physical properties and printing performance were taken into comprehensive consideration. The results showed that precipitated silica had better adsorption of ink than colloidal silica and the two composites were better than the single one. When the ratio of pigment to glue was 100:20, precipitated silica was 70 parts, colloidal silica was 30 parts, PVA-1799 was 10 parts, latex was 10 parts and the coating weight was 8 g/m2. The color density C, M, Y, K of formula 2 was increased by 83.8, 66.2, 51.9 and 73.7% respectively and the smoothness was improved by 100% compared to the base paper. The smoothness of formula 2 was improved by 232% and color density C, M, Y, K was increased by 44.3, 0.9, 51.9 and 23.4% respectively compared to the color ink-jet paper with base weight of 128 g/m2.
