In this paper the paper-ink physical and chemical interactions of glossy colored ink-jet paper were researched and the influence of the paper-ink interaction on printing and fastness properties was also discussed.

This article simply introduces the ink-jet printing paper with its characteristics,quality requirements,development history and trends.

A high quality ink-jet printing paper shows rapid drying, good dye fixation, minimal wicking/feathering and little Z direction penetration.

The coating color compositions, which include the pigments, the binders and the micro-additives, for the ink-jet printing papers were discussed in this article, and the best formulation to improve the printability of ink-jet printing papers was also given.

It was found that the glossy inkjet paper with fast absorption speed,high brightness and good smoothness can ensure the digital images to be preserved for longer time.

The image quality of four kinds of glossy commercial inkjet papers were evaluated with two subjective evaluation methods,scale method and z-score method.

To improve properties of ink jet printing paper with surface sizing and slight coating;

The testing methods of the properties of the high gloss ink jet printing paper were mentioned briefly as well.

This paper introduces not only the principle of ink jet printing and the composition of ink but also the basic ingredients of coating materials for the coated ink jet printing paper and the application of some additives.

The specialty of colour inkjet printing paper (especially high resolving power colour paper) and the relationship between coating materials and inkjet printing results were also analyzed in this paper.
