Process Standards

Four core indicators guarantee superior coating quality and excellent print performance of art paper.

Coating Thickness
Precisely control coating thickness to maintain uniform surface performance of every paper sheet
Print Dot Reproduction Rate
Restore print dots with high fidelity and rich color for multiple high-precision printing processes
Whiteness
Base paper whiteness over 85 percent provides a pure background for high-grade color printing
Coating Pass Rate
Strict inline quality control ensures an extremely high qualification rate for the coating process
Wet Coating Process

Full-process step-by-step control ensures consistent surface quality and outstanding print performance.

01
Base Paper Preparation
Wet-formed base paper with controlled thickness and uniformity, establishing a stable foundation for coating. Strict physical indices prevent peeling and uneven coating in follow-up processes.
02
Water-Based Coating Preparation
Precise formulation mixing of kaolin, latex, and functional additives to create a uniform, eco-friendly water-based coating. Fully ground low-VOC raw materials fit high-speed duplex coating.
03
Duplex Coating
High-speed coater applies coating uniformly on both sides of the base paper with precise thickness control. Thickness tolerance reaches ±2μm for consistent coating across full rolls.
04
Gradient Drying
Gradient drying at 80-135°C ensures complete curing with zero solvent residue. Step heating prevents blistering and edge warping.
05
Calendering
Super calendering enhances surface smoothness and gloss, delivering a premium tactile feel. Gloss & matte finishes are available to boost printing dot reproduction.
06
Quality Control Inspection
Inline inspection of coating thickness, surface smoothness, and printability — non-conforming products are immediately rejected. Full online check against whiteness and coating pass rate standards.
Advantages of Wet-forming Process

Refined full-process control yields coated art paper featuring outstanding printability, consistent coating, eco-friendliness and cost advantages.

Excellent Print Compatibility
Smooth and delicate surface achieves≥98% dot reproduction and rich color saturation, seamlessly compatible with UV printing, hot stamping, laminating, and other premium post-processing techniques.
Uniform Coating & Consistent Batch Quality
High-speed coaters precisely regulate coating thickness for outstanding batch consistency with color difference ΔE ≤0.5, ensuring quality across all bulk shipments.
Eco-friendly Green Production
Adopts a water-based coating formula with low VOC emission and zero solvent residue, complying with EU & US environmental standards to support clients’ sustainable packaging goals.
Cost-effective & High Performance
High-efficiency wet coating, lower production costs, far below imported coated paper at the same quality, delivering competitive raw material solutions for partners.
Core Equipment
Four core devices coordinate well via coating, finishing, formulation and inspection to secure outstanding product quality.
1
High-Speed Duplex Coater
Precision duplex synchronous coating with ±2μm thickness control, high-speed operation for large-volume continuous production.
2
Super Calender
Multi-roll hot calendering system significantly enhances surface smoothness and gloss for premium art paper finish.
3
Coating Formulation System
Precision dosing and inline mixing ensure uniform coating composition, supporting switching between gloss and matte finishes.
4
Print Compatibility Inspection System
Inline inspection of coating thickness, surface smoothness, and dot reproduction — automatic rejection of non-conforming products.
