Water-based printing with ink may suffer from fibre rising and associated surface roughening due to the wetting involved. These detrimental changes were simulated in commercial lightweight coated (LWC) paper. Most fibres in the basesheets were flat and ribbon-like. They swelled upon wetting and shrank upon drying, but remained flat. Other fibres were hollow and tube-like and expanded upon wetting, but showed different behaviour upon drying.
