A process for producing a coated paper, board or other fibrous web

The invention relates to a process for producing a coated paper, board or other fibrous web, comprising the steps of: Sheet formation of a fiber mixture, having a headbox (2) and a wire section (3), dewatering in a press section (4), existing drying in one of drying cylinders (5) drying section (6) for the fibrous web (7) formed at least to to dry a residual moisture content, applying a simultaneous primer coating on both sides of the web (7a; 7b) with a glue press or film press (8) for applying starch or pigment-containing coating medium, drying existing with non-contact dryers (9) and one of drying cylinders (10) afterdryers (11) and pre-calendering (12) having a Softnipp- or Hardnipp calender (12a), reel (25). According to the invention, a pigment-containing coating medium (13) after the pre-calendering (12) in an online process applied to only one side of the web (7a) of the fibrous web (7), to which a first coating device, such as a Filmcoater (14) for applying the application medium (13) in an indirect manner by means of an applicator roller (14a) and / or a second coating device, such as a Bladecoater (15) for applying the application medium (13) is used in a direct manner and wherein both coaters or coater mentioned (14; 15) are selectively operable while the fibrous web (7) ... a
