  • Patent number: 6908658
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide an electrophotography recording paper having excellent density, color tone, gradation, fixing properties and recording qualities, while having excellent water resistance and durability. The object may be obtained by constructing an electrophotography recording paper 1 by laminating a recording layer 3 comprising a synthetic resin film having a coating layer 4 on at least one side of a base material layer 2 comprising a paper material having a water resistance. The electrostatic capacity of the electrophotography recording paper is controlled at 10 pF/cm2 or more. It is desirable that the synthetic resin film as the recording layer 3 be a polyester film, particularly a polyethylene terephthalate film.
