Gutenburg invention sparked a revolution in mass communication in Europe and the demand for paper created the need for greater efficiency in production. The increasing volume of paper consumption has becomes a complex environmental matter and one of the biggest problems is the huge volume of paper used as high quality printing material is still wasted. This paper proposes the change of coating system to produce coated paper from doctor coating to skin coating system to achieve excellent coverage of the base paper without any direct machine contact. There is no need for the blades, rods or backing rolls of conventional methods and makes it possible to use recycled pulp.
