A coated paper used for printing and manufacturing method thereof. The coated
paper
comprises a coated layer mainly compose of a pigment and an adhesive on a base
paper or paper web. The coated paper also comprises the thermal shrinkage force
(R) which satisfies following formula when measured pursuant to the measuring method
described in the specification;
A sample coated paper is moisture-adjusted in accordance with JIS-P-8111. Then,
it will be cut into specific dimension along with orthogonally to the cross direction.
Next, the paper will be put through Thermo Mechanical Analyzer to obtain R that
is measured by predetermined technique. The coated paper will be obtained easily
by using a base paper coated with PVA having a saponification degree of not less
than 85 mol % in an amount of 0.5-5 g/m2 per side surface after the
coating material was dried and dried.
