Cast-coated papers having optimized properties for image permanence when used with color xerographic printing and a method of printing the cast-coated papers in an electrophotographic apparatus

摘要

An enhanced or optimized cast-coated paper for enhancing or improving toner adhesion, and a method for forming an image on the enhanced or optimized cast-coated paper, includes a paper sheet with a coating solution on at least one surface of the paper sheet, the cast-coated paper having at least: a thermal diffusivity of less than approximately 9.0 mm²/s and total surface free energy component of less than 38 erg/cm² Printing the cast-coated paper in an electrophotographic apparatus includes forming an image with an eletrophotographic toner in the eletrophotographic apparatus and transferring the image to the cast-coated paper having the thermal diffusivity of less than approximately 9.0 mm²/s and the total surface free energy component of less than 38 erg/cm². The cast-coated paper may be used in apparatuses utilizing an electrophotographic process, such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsmile machine, a color-copying machine, and the like.
