Features of C1S/C2S Art Paper
Coated Surface: C2S Art Paper has a coated surface on both sides, providing a smooth and even texture. The coating is typically made of clay and other additives, which enhance the paper's printability and color reproduction.
Excellent Printability: The coated surface of C2S Art Paper allows for sharp and vibrant printing with high-resolution details. It provides a receptive surface for ink or toner, resulting in clear and well-defined text, images, and graphics.
Vibrant Colors: C2S Art Paper is known for its ability to reproduce colors with vibrancy and accuracy. The coating on the paper prevents ink absorption, allowing the colors to remain rich and vibrant, resulting in visually appealing and eye-catching prints.
Smooth Finish: The smooth finish of C2S Art Paper enhances the overall appearance of printed materials. It provides a professional and polished look, making it suitable for applications where a high-quality and refined presentation is desired.
ISO 9001:2000, iso14001:2004, SGS, are all available
Application of C1S/C2S Art Paper
C1S/C2S Art Paper is used for high-speed sheet-fed offset printing and cycle printing. It is mainly used for magazines, color paintings, product catalogs, exhibition tickets, book covers, inserts, promotional materials, children's books, annual reports, high-end artworks, appreciation books, Ancient paintings, photography magazines, etc.
How Does C2S Art Paper Work?
C2S Art Paper, or Coated Two Sides Art Paper, functions through a special coating process that enhances the surface properties of base paper. The key working principle lies in the application of a fine coating layer—typically made of calcium carbonate, kaolin clay, and binding agents—on both sides of the paper.
Here's how it works:
Base Paper Preparation:
Uncoated paper (usually woodfree paper) serves as the base.
Double Coating Process:
A smooth coating slurry is applied to both sides of the paper. This coating fills in the surface irregularities, creating a uniform, non-porous, and glossy finish.
Calendering:
After coating, the paper passes through heated rollers (calenders) to compress and polish the surface. This step ensures high smoothness and gloss.
Printing Behavior:
Because of its smooth and sealed surface, printing inks remain on the surface rather than being absorbed into the fibers. This allows for:
High-resolution image printing
Vibrant and accurate color reproduction
Sharper text and graphic detail
Drying & Finishing:
Once printed, the ink dries through oxidation or UV curing, as absorption is minimal. This results in a clean, crisp printed appearance.
