For manufacturing point of view, to attain a coated paper of best performance, selection or optimization of base paper properties is necessary. Base paper characteristics like roughness, porosity equally contribute as pigment properties. The quality of coated paper is majorly influenced by the properties of base paper. A base paper property defines the final coating structure, its optical efficiency, and the resulting coated paper performance and printability. Final coated paper decides the printability result by its coating Structure, optical efficiency, which is also influence of base paper.
