Patent ID: 7645489

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an inkjet recording medium for offset printing comprising the steps of: applying at a speed of at least 300 m/minute and up to 1000 m/minute a coating color containing a pigment and a binder as major components to at least one side of a base material using a transfer roll coater; subsequently drying said coating layer to form an ink absorbing layer, wherein the Hercules viscosity of said coating color is 5 mPa·s to 30 mPa·s and said pigment contains either one of a) a synthetic silica having an oil absorption of 90 ml/100 g to 200 ml/100 g, a BET specific surface area of 80 m 2 /g to 104 m 2 /g and an average particle diameter of 1.0 μm to 3.0 μm, b) a precipitated calcium carbonate-silica composite having an oil absorption of 100 ml/100 g to 250 ml/100 g, a BET specific surface area of 26 m 2 /g to 30 m 2 /g and an average particle diameter of 1.0 μm to 10 μm, or a mixture of a) and b).
