Abstract

Method and apparatus for fabricating electrosensitive paper with a white finish. The paper comprises a base layer of paper, a solvent-based resin coating, and a thin surface layer of aluminum, optionally including a white overcoat. A mixture of solvents may be employed having different evaporation rates, providing a white appearance of the metallized layer. The solvent mixture may include a relatively volatile true solvent, and a less volatile diluent. After application of the resin coating in solution to the paper base, the solvents may be evaporated using a three-stage drying process in which the first stage involves an elevated temperature with turbulent air flow.
