READILY FORMABLE DECORATIVE PAPER AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MOLDED FIBROUS ARTICLE THROUGH SIMULTANEOUS MOLDING/DECORATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a decorated readily formable paper suitable for an in-mold decorated fibrous molded article and the invention relates also to a method of manufacturing an in-mold decorated fibrous molded article. Provided are a decorated readily formable paper which suffers no ink running during molding and which also has superior friction resistance and a method of manufacturing an in-mold decorated fibrous molded article using such paper. A decorated readily formable paper 11 includes a readily formable paper 1, a pattern layer 8 formed on one face of the readily formable paper 1, a varnish layer 9 formed on the readily formable paper 1 and the pattern layer 8, and a protection layer 10 formed on the varnish layer 9. The pattern layer 8, the varnish layer 9 and the protection layer 10 are printed layers 2.
