Abstract
A decorative paper layer may include a base paper layer, an inkjet receiver coating and a pattern formed thereon by digitally applying inks from a set of a plurality of differently colored inks. At least one of the inks may include color pigments having an average particle diameter larger than 150. The inkjet receiver coating may include silica pigments, in which the silica particles are particles of precipitated silica and/or silica gel and/or have an average particle size which is at least 4 times larger than the average particle diameter of the color pigments and/or have an average particle size of 1 to 40 micrometer.

A decorative paper layer comprising:
- a base paper layer;
- an inkjet receiver coating provided on the base paper layer;
- and
- a pattern formed on the inkjet receiver coating by digitally applying inks from a set of a plurality of differently colored inks;
- wherein at least one of the inks includes color pigments having an average particle diameter larger than 150 nm, and the inkjet receiver coating includes silica pigments;
- wherein the silica pigments are particles of precipitated silica and/or silica gel and/or have an average particle size that is at least 5 times larger than the average particle diameter of the color pigments and/or have an average particle size of 1 to 40 micrometer, with the average particle sizes and the average particle diameters being determined by laser light scattering granulometry technique.
