Hypothesis

The preparation and microcosmic structural analysis of recording coating on inkjet printing media can enhance printing quality.

Conclusion

The study found that a uniform distribution of particle size in the recording coating leads to clearer printing images.

Supporting Evidence

  • The average particle size of the nanoscale silica was found to be 12 nm.
  • The dispersibility of the nanoscale silica in the solution was uniform.
  • The surface of the recording coating was smooth, which is advantageous for ink infiltration.
  • The color of the printing image was clearer with the preparative recording coating.

Takeaway

This study shows how making the coating for inkjet printing better can help the pictures look nicer.

Methodology

The study used scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy to analyze the microstructure and roughness of the recording coating.
