SHEET OF HIGH WHITENESS DEGREE

摘要

A sheet of high whiteness degree comprising a paper having a fluorescent whitener incorporated therein and, superimposed on the surface thereof, a layer of coating film water-soluble resin or a layer of a mixture of coating film water-soluble resin and another water-soluble resin, thereby having a whiteness degree of 92 to 98%. The amount of coating film water-soluble resin used in the sheet of high whiteness degree is preferably in the range of 0.6 to 5 g/m² with respect to both major surfaces of the paper. Further, it is preferred that the coating film water-soluble resin be at least one member selected from among polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide and carboxymethylcellulose. Thus, there can be obtained a sheet of high whiteness degree that even when a hand is brought into contact with the surface of a sheet of high whiteness degree having a fluorescent whitener incorporated therein, is free from sticking of the fluorescent whitener to the hand, and that can be used in both not only black and white but also color electrophotographic transfer and inkjet recording.
