Coated paper

Japanese: コート紙 - こーとし
Coated paper

A type of coated paper in which paint or synthetic resin is applied to one or both sides of base paper, dried, and then usually passed through a super calendar (a type of device that adds gloss to paper). Generally, the amount of coating is less than that of art paper, but more than that of light-weight coated paper. It is a special product name in Japan. Usually, the base paper for coated paper is made of high-quality paper, but medium-quality coated paper is made of medium-quality paper. Coating for coated paper usually involves a paint made of a mixture of white or light-colored mineral pigments and adhesives such as casein, modified starch, or synthetic resin. Coated paper has a smooth, glossy surface and produces a great printing effect, so it is used in place of art paper in high-quality printing such as multi-color printing.

原紙の片面または両面に塗料または合成樹脂などを塗り乾燥し、通常、スーパーカレンダーsuper calender(紙に光沢をつける装置の一種)にかけて得られ、一般に塗工量がアート紙より少なく、軽量コート紙より多い塗工紙coated paperの一種。わが国の特殊品名である。通常コート紙の原紙は上質紙を用いるが、中質コート紙は中質紙を用いる。コート紙の塗工には通常、白色または淡色の鉱物性の顔料とカゼイン、変性デンプンまたは合成樹脂などの接着剤を混合した塗料が多く用いられる。コート紙は表面が平滑で光沢があり印刷効果が大きいため、多色印刷などの高級印刷でアート紙に代用される。
