Abstract:
A method for the production of a magnetic recording medium provided on one surface of a nonmagnetic support thereof with a magnetic layer and on the other surface of said nonmagnetic support with a backcoat layer, comprising a step of applying a magnetic paint for the formation of said magnetic layer to one surface of said nonmagnetic support, a step of applying a paint for the formation of said backcoat layer to the other surface of said nonmagnetic support, and a step of applying a magnetic field thereby effecting an orienting treatment after said magnetic paint for the formation of the magnetic layer and said paint for the formation of the backcoat layer have been applied and before the magnetic paint for the formation of the magnetic layer has dried, wherein said magnetic paint for the formation of the magnetic layer and said paint for the formation of the backcoat layer both retain an undried state after they have been both applied to the nonmagnetic support.
