With a view to seek the influence of hollow sphere pigments of latex upon the printed color on coated paper surface, the hollow sphere pigments were compared with filled ones in a variety of experimental approaches. Colloidal properties of latices were determined by measuring zeta potential and particle size distribution. For the amphoteric filled sphere pigment of latex, the polarity was reversed from the negative side to the positive side with decreasing pH. An extraordinarily high peak in the particle size distribution of the amphoteric filled evidenced aggregation between latex particles near the isoelectric point, depending on the electrolyte concentration and pH of the suspending medium. Coated papers containing the hollow sphere pigment in their coating improved optical properties like gloss and brightness. Optical parameters solely of the coating could account for this finding. An equation derived from the Kubelka-Munk equation calculated them fro twice measurements of reflectance of a coated paper over two substrates of different reflectances. This method permitted to predict brightness of coated paper of which coat weight would be different fro the actual one. The colorimetric parameters of solid-printed surfaces of the coated papers closely related to optical and structural properties of the coated papers. The color of the printed surfaces was dominated by the brightness and the smoothness of the coated papers. The hollow sphere pigments were proved to improve optical properties of coated paper and to control minutely colorimetric parameters of printed surfaces.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the type of base papers containing rice straw-BKP on the properties and printabilities of coated papers. Also, it was intended to evaluate the effect of coated paper prepared with anionic and amphoteric latex based coating color. The results obtained from this study were as follows. The fiber length of rice straw-BKP was observed much shorter than those of the wood pulps(Sw-BKP, Hw-BKP). This has effect on physical properties. Therefore, the results of measured physical properties were much lower than those of wood pulps. Also, physical properties tended to increase slightly with the increase of the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP. Opacity of the base paper containing rice straw-BKP, was higher than that of the wood pulps. As the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP increases the opacity tended to decrease. On the other hand, smoothness and roughness to rice straw-BKP were similar with Sw-BKP and its air permeability was lower than those of wood pulps. The optical properties of coated papers containing rice straw-BKP tended to be similar to those of other base papers. The ink receptivity of coated papers containg rice straw-BKP was higher than those of wood pulps and printing gloss was similar to wood pulps. The mixing ratio of Sw-BKP, the ink receptivity and printing gloss of rice straw-BKP were showed no difference irrespective the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP. Meannwhile, amphoteric latex improved the optical properties and printability of coated papers.

This paper was intended to evaluate the effect of the blending condition of pigments on the packing structure of coating color and the interaction between pigments and latices on the optical and interior properties of coated paper. It has been studied many ways to modify the coating structure to induce the interaction among coating components as followings ; 1) to use dispersant for pigment, 2) to control the charge density and the type of surface charge of latex, 3) to support the water retention by adding water retention agent or flow modifier. This paper was performed through the introduction of interaction between pigments which were two kinds of clays and one precipitated calcium carbonate(PCC) and ionic latices of which anionic and amphoteric respectively under the certain blending condition of pigments where their blending ratio of clays to calcium carbonate was 70pph to 30pph. The reason is that packing volume of pigments was highest in that region and thixotropical behavior appears in measuring rheology of coating color. We measured the properties of coating color, interaction with pigments and latex, and properties of coated paper and its printability. As a results, we could find out that amphoteric latex had a great influence on the interaction with pigments, especially clays, no matter what grade and also affected the coating structure significantly in case that this blending condition was 70(clays) to 30(PCC). It produced a powerful effect on the forming of bulky and smooth coating structure and in turn improved the printability of coated paper.
