For the purpose of study on the printability of domestic art papers, the physical properties of domestic coated paper for offset printing were investigated. 25 kinds of sample papers were prepared and were examined in accordance with KS and TAPPI standard testing method i.e., basis weight, density, opacity, gloss, roughness, smoothness, brightness, and K&N absorption. IGT printability tester was used to obtain the printability parameters, such as maximum ink requirement of paper Y, limiting printing density D print through, and density smoothness constant m value.
