The potential of hydroxypropylated starch –based composite coatings as inkjet receptive coatings was studied using water based inks with dye colorants. The variable in the development program was the proportion of various functional nanopigments such as kaolin and synthetic layered silicate. Also the effect of styrene-butadiene latex co-binder addition was investigated. From the viewpoint of print quality, the coated substrates showed excellent print density values, but low water fastness results, which was ascribed to dissolution of the coating-ink interface.
