Strike-through, that is, print-through occurs by printing with carbon ink, was measured using an image analyzer and the relation between porous structure of paper and strike-through was studied.
The porous structure of papers were estimated from various testing, including scanning electron micrography and pore size distribution measurments by the mercury intrusionmethod.
The differences of paper properties before and after printing and the relation between porous structure of unprinted paper and strike-though were interpreted based on the theory of liquid penetration.
The quantative measurement of strike-through was able to estimate from results of image analysis. The distribution of strike-through, which could be indicated with the horizontal maximum chord length of a particle in strike-through assuming circular, was also estimated.
This distribution and the porous structure of papers with of about 10 μm and over in size were found well correlated each other as could be derived from the Lucas-Washburn equation on liquid penetration.
The features of sample papers concerning strike-through were as follows :
Woodfree paper (55 g/m
2) could be estimated that more true pores pierced from one side to the other side of paper, as much strike-through were perceived.
Coated paper (87 g/m
2) had few pores, which caused much less strike-through.
Newsprint (55 g/m
2) had more pores, but strike-through were less.
