Method of making an ink-printed fibrous web

Abstract

A method of making an ink-printed fibrous web by applying onto at least one side of a coated fibrous web at least one ink layer of a planographic ink to form an image thereon to produce a printed fibrous web. The ink layer(s) has a total volatile content, as supplied, of less than 10% (preferably less than 5%). The printed fibrous web is then subjected to ambient temperatures without the use of a drying oven or by employing oven temperatures that have an exit web temperature that does not exceed 225° F. Subsequent processing of the printed fibrous web includes applying one or more coatings including a waterbased coating, a coating having a total volatile content of less than 10%, a coating that is cured with actinic radiation, and an anti-offset coating.
