Q:What is cast coated photo paper?

A:In the coating process, the paper goes through hot metal rollers after the coating has been applied. The rollers press and heat the coating which causes the paper to become glossy with a flat surface. Due to this method of coating there are no pores on the face of the paper and pigment inks can only “sit” on the surface. On many occasions this causes ink on a freshly printed paper to smear when rubbed. The cast coated photo paper is excellent for dye based inks and has a lower quality results with pigment inks. Some ink manufacturers started adding adhesives to their pigment inks to make it compatible with cast coated papers and prevent smearing.
