Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A paper sizing or coating composition is provided, which includes: a first binder resin, which is compatible with dry toner binder resin; a second binder resin, which is compatible with liquid toner binder resin, and which is different from the first binder resin; a first pigment, which has a BET surface area of from greater than zero to about 35 m 2 /g; and a second pigment, which has a BET surface area of about 35 m 2 /g or greater, and which is different from the first pigment. Recording sheets which include the composition, methods of making the composition and recording sheets, and methods for making an image are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recording sheet, comprising: a sizing or coating composition, comprising a first binder resin selected from one or more of a styrene-acrylic acid copolymer, a styrene-butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer, a styrene acrylate latex, an epoxy, a polyvinyl chloride, a polyvinyl acetate, a vinyl acetate acrylate copolymer, or a mixture thereof, and which is compatible with dry toner binder resin; a second binder resin selected from one or more of a polyethylene acrylic acid copolymer, a polyethylene methacrylic acid copolymer, or a mixture thereof, and which is compatible with liquid toner binder resin; a first pigment, which has a BET surface area of from greater than zero to about 35 m 2 /g; and a second pigment, which has a BET surface area of about 35 m 2 /g or greater, and which is different from the first pigment; and a paper or plastic substrate in contact with the composition, wherein the sizing or coating composition is comprised within first and second sublayers, the first sublayer being in contact with the paper or plastic substrate and comprising at least one of the first and second binder resins and at least one of the first and second pigments; and the second sublayer being in contact with the first sublayer and comprising at least one of the first and second binder resins, wherein the second sublayer is compositionally different from the first sublayer in terms of the presence or absence of one or more of: the first and second binder resins; or the first and second pigments.
