Abstract
There is disclosed a paper coating composition for use in preparing a coated paper for gravure printing, which composition comprises a suspension in water of 100 parts by weight, on a dry weight basis, of a pigment or mixture of pigments having a particle size distribution such that at least 75% by weight of the particles have an equivalent spherical diameter smaller than 2 .mu.m, and a latex the particles of which do not swell appreciably in water and which have an average size less than 0.2 .mu.m, the latex being employed in an amount such as to provide from 3 to 15 parts by weight latex solids and the composition being substantially free from any viscosifying, film-forming hydrophilic polymeric material.
