| Abstract | In order to produce color ink jet prints with good water fastness and light fastness properties, special coated paper are generally necessary. This study examined the water and light fastness of ink jet prints using experimental coated papers containing PCC and/or GCC pigment combined with different binders. The properties of the coatings were altered by using different types coating polymers and different ratios of coating pigments. The results indicated that the print properties on the PVOH-poly-DADMAC coatings were far better than he SA latex, SB latex and PV Ac latex coatings. The binder amount increase have an evident opposite behavior on light fastness, but not clear influence on light fastness with the SA latex, SB latex and PV Ac latex coatings. On PVOH-poly-DADMAC coatings, there was optimal binder level which coating had best water fastness. The pigment ratio of the coatings had not an evident influence on water fastness and light fastness. But there was the optimal point and the worst point. On PVOH-poly-DADMAC coatings, the PCC:GCC ratio at 60:40 had best light fastness and better water fastness, the PCC:GCC ratio at 80:20 has the worst water fastness and worse light fastness. The pigment ratio at 60:40 (PCC:Silica) has better results both water fastness and light fastness. |
