Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium comprising a coated magnetic recording layer having video and chroma S/N ratios appropriately balanced with tape transporting characteristics is attained by controlling the magnetic layer to have a surface roughness such that the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness (Ra) is about 80 A or greater in the surface roughness pitch region greater than about 300 mu m while in the surface roughness pitch region of about 5 mu m to about 100 mu m the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness (Ra) is about 40 A or less.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support on which a magnetic layer is formed by: coating on said support an emulsion of magnetic material in a binder, wherein said magnetic material is comprised of large filler having a grain size ranging from about 2 μm to about 30 μm and a small filler having a grain size ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 5 μm; and drying, and subjecting the resulting magnetic recording medium to a calendering process utilizing calender rolls under conditions that the pressure between any two rolls ranges from 100 Kg/cm to 400 Kg/cm at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 150° C., said resulting magnetic layer having a surface roughness controlled such that the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness is at least about 80 A in the surface roughness pitch region greater than about 300 μm and the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness is about 40 A to 5 A in the surface roughness pitch region greater than about 5 μm and smaller than about 100 μm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support on which a magnetic layer is formed by: coating on said support an emulsion of magnetic material in a binder, wherein said magnetic material is comprised of large filler having a grain size ranging from about 2 μm to about 30 μm and a small filler having a grain size ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 5 μm; and drying, and subjecting the resulting magnetic recording medium to a calendering process utilizing calender rolls under conditions that the pressure between any two rolls ranges from 100 Kg/cm to 400 Kg/cm at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 150° C., said resulting magnetic layer having a surface roughness controlled such that the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness is at least about 80 A in the surface roughness pitch region greater than about 300 μm and the maximum value of the arithmetical average roughness is about 40 A to 5 A in the surface roughness pitch region greater than about 5 μm and smaller than about 100 μm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
