Claims
- 1. A matte printing paper consisting essentially of a raw coating paper coated with a coating composition containing 25 to 70% by weight of calcium carbonate as a coating pigment, 10 to 65% by weight of ungelatinized starch granules, except rice starch granules, and no more than 15% by weight of a binding agent for the absorption of printing ink, based on the total weight of said coating composition.
- 2. A printing paper of claim 1, where the starch granules are chemically modified.
- 3. A printing paper of claim 2, where the starch granules are etherified.
- 4. A printing paper of claim 2, where the starch granules are esterified.
- 5. A printing paper of claim 1, where the starch granules have an average granule diameter of 7 to 50 .mu.m.
- 6. A printing paper of claim 1, where the starch granules consist of potato starch, corn-starch, wheat starch, rye starch, or tapioca starch or a mixture of two or more of these.
- 7. A printing paper of claim 1, where the coating contains, in addition to calcium carbonate, kaolin, titanium dioxide satin white, gypsum, talc or other common natural or synthetic white pigments.
- 8. A printing paper of claim 1, where the coating contains ground or precipitated calcium carbonate.
- 9. In the method of manufacturing a matte printing paper by applying a coating composition contained 25 to 70% of calcium carbonate and no more than 15% by weight of a binding agent to a raw coating paper which has been provided with a prime coat, and drying the coated paper, the improvement which resides in that said coating composition contains 10 to 65% by weight of ungelatinized starch granules, based on the total weight of said coating composition, and the starch granules are not added to the coating composition until after all the other components have been added.
- 10. The method of manufacturing a printing paper of claim 9, wherein subsequent to the drying of the coating, the printing paper is smoothed by a conventional calendering treatment.
