Abstract Mineral paper, a synthetic paper‐like material primarily composed of ground calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) and small amount high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), has emerged as an important alternative to traditional paper board due the increasing demand for pulp shortage trees fibrous in many regions worldwide.

The sustainable use of natural resources is becoming an increasingly important issue today. Stone paper, produced as alternative to cellulose-based paper from the forest, rich in minerals and without cellulose water. This study focuses on behavior screen-printing ink two different papers, stone coated sticker paper. Properties such adhesion, rubbing resistance, optical printing density, consumption, lightfastness were measured these surfaces. Solvent- UV-based inks used, was carried out (coated paper) mineral-based (stone layers using three mesh counts (90, 120, 140 tpc). resistance papers also measured. present findings revealed that had same printability properties concluded a tpc with both types results high-lightfastness layer lower consumption. exhibited high rub across all counts. Additionally, when there will be reduction thereby achieving cost savings. Based findings, it water- oil-resistant can considered essential many fields, including industry.
