About this document
Fundamentals of Surface Sizing in Paper by Peter de Clerck is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Surface sizing helps provide characteristics to paper like strength and resistance to ink penetration. The function of surface sizing differs from internal sizing, which provides water repellency, while surface sizing keeps inks from soaking into paper. Factors like sheet moisture content, smoothness, and permeability affect how much sizing solution is absorbed. Careful selection of sizing solution viscosity and concentration can optimize properties like strength and print quality.
