Abstract: The present invention relates to an ink jet recording sheet comprising a sheet-like substrate, and an ink receiving layer formed on at least one surface of the sheet-like substrate, the ink receiving layer containing an amorphous silica having an average particle size 0.5 to 10 ?m and a binder, the sheet-like substrate being subjected to a calendering treatment after forming the ink receiving layer thereon, thereby white-paper gloss of the recording sheet measured at 75° in accordance with JIS Z 8741 is from 30 to 90%.

Abstract: A coated paper sheet having a coating layer formed on one or two surfaces of a substrate paper sheet and containing a pigment and a binder, wherein the pigment includes kaolin particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 1.5 ?m and an aspect ratio L/W (L: major axis, W: minor axis of the particles) in the range of 5 to 50; the binder contains (a) a copolymer having a glass transition temperature Tg of 10 to 60° C. and a single phase structure and/or a synthetic polymeric compound having a core-shell composite structure; the coating layer surfaces have a 75 degree specular glossiness of 50% or more; and the air permeability of the coated paper sheet is 7000 seconds or less, is useful as printing sheet especially for gravure printing.

Abstract: There are provided electrophotographic transfer sheets comprising a substrate sheet which is a laminate comprising a thermoplastic resin film layer (A) adhesively laminated on at least one side of a core material layer (B) made of a paper substrate or a thermoplastic polyester-based resin film, and a toner receiving layer composed mainly of a conductive metal oxide coated on the surface of the thermoplastic resin film layer (A), characterised by having a Clark stiffness of at least 12 cm in the cross direction as measured according to JIS P8143.

Abstract: A recording sheet having a recording layer formed on a substrate sheet (for example, a paper sheet, synthetic resin film or synthetic paper sheet), and including a pigment and a binder which contains a cross-linking reaction product of styrene-acrylic copolymer which preferably has carboxyl groups and is soluble or dispersible in water, with a cross-linking agent, for example, a polyamidepolyamine compound, has excellent resistance to both water and organic solvents and is useful for both dot matrix printers and thermal transfer printers.
