Abstract: Electrophotographic paper and a method for its production, according to which method a cellulose pulp is slushed, a filler is mixed with the slush, and the slush is formed in the paper machine into a web, which is dried. According to the invention, bivalent or trivalent cations in an amount of at least 0.1% of the dry weight of the pulp are attached to the acid groups of the cellulose pulp before the forming of the web. Thereby a paper web is obtained the surface charge of which is at least approximately 600 V when relative humidity is 40%. The surface charge of the paper according to the invention remains stable within a wide humidity range. For this reason, when the paper according to the invention is used, the need for drying the paper in the printing press is significantly reduced.
