How does paper surface treatment affect ink absorption?
The surface treatment of printing paper directly affects the ink absorption speed, diffusion rate, and final print quality. Different types of paper exhibit significant differences in performance. 1. Smoother Surface, Less Ink Diffusion Coated paper (such as photo paper or inkjet paper) has a smoother surface and an ink-absorbing layer, effectively controlling ink diffusion and resulting in sharper image edges and richer colors. 2. Ink-absorbing Layer Determines Drying Speed High-quality paper typically has a specialized ink-absorbing coating that quickly absorbs and fixes ink, reducing smudging and ghosting, while improving printing efficiency. 3. Surface Roughness Affects Clarity Ordinary copy paper has a relatively rough surface, allowing ink to diffuse easily. It's […]
