A printable recording media that comprises a base substrate with an image-side and a back-side and a coating composition comprising, at least, particles of metallic salt of C-Calkyl acid chain or alkyl ester chain having a mean particle size (D) above 3 μm and having about 99.5% of the particle size distribution which is less than 80 μm, inorganic pigment particles and/or mixture inorganic particles, and polymeric binders and/or mixture of polymeric binders, is applied to the image-side of the base substrate. Also described herein are a method for forming the printable recording media and a printing method that includes ejecting an ink composition onto the print media described herein.

Printable recording media

A coating composition for a base paper is described. The coating composition comprises a porous clay and an ink pigment fixation agent. The porous clay comprises an alumina-silicate, and has a surface area from 100 m2/g to 400 m2/g.

Coating composition for printing paper

In one example of the disclosure, a print agent is applied upon a length of web substrate. A dryer is utilized to dry the web substrate length. Moisture is applied to the web substrate length. The moisturized web substrate length is wound upon a spool to form a top liner length, with no dryer to be utilized to dry the web substrate length between the moisture application and the winding.
