AbstractThe effect of paper properties on ink piling was studied in terms of sizing type, sizing levels, and surface roughness. Handsheets were prepared with AKO and ASA contents at two cobb values (20 and 30). Then handsheets were calendered under two levels of surface roughness (50 and 200 ml/min), thereafter they were printed by IGT tester and ink piling was evaluated. The variables of printing condition investigated were ink drying time, ink tack (black and magenta ink), and ink content. The addition of ASA sizing was clearly effective in promoting ink piling than AKD sizing. High cobb value and high surface roughness resulted is lower ink piling. The ink piling was higher for magenta and high ink content.
