Characterization of the Effect of Surface Properties of Tissue Paper on Print Quality
Tissue paper used in industrial applications for Puer tea packaging was studied in this investigation.Tissue paper for Puer tea packaging should have good air permeability because Puer tea needs zymosis. Thephysico-chemical characteristics of tissue paper which were detrimental to printability were measured. Particularattention was paid to air permeability, surface roughness and print through and to establish a clear correlationbetween surface properties and print quality. The results indicated that tissue paper had a high airpermeability rate and too strong ink absorption which resulted in ink penetrated into the backside of tissue paperand poor print quality. Tissue papers were coated with two kinds of coating which included differentquantity of kaolin pigment and calcium carbonate pigment in order to see whether the final coated tissue papercould meet the demands for Puer tea packaging and improve print quality and which kind of pigmentadapted to coating for tissue paper. The coating was performed on a multi-coater, and two kinds of coatingthickness were applied: 2μm and 6μm. It was concluded that the thinner coating and kaolin pigment couldadapt to coating for tissue paper and could improve the surface structure of tissue paper and print quality.
