However, when the conventional electrophotographic paper used in the electrophotographic monochrome copying machine or printer is used in the above improved electrophotographic full-color copying machine or printer, it is often present in photographic images. There is a problem that the graininess (roughness of the image) in the halftone region is poor, uneven density is conspicuous in the high image density region, and the saturation is low and the color developability is poor. Further, in the case of full-color copying or printing, an image having a large image area ratio such as a photographic image is often formed on the paper, which is not comparable to an image having a small image area ratio after heat and pressure fixing. There is a problem that a large curl occurs. Such a large curl after the fixing process not only makes it difficult to handle as a document, but also
Poor accommodation in the discharge tray or sorter has been a cause of various troubles caused by the poor accommodation.

In the present invention, the paper surface is smoothed with Beck's smoothness to 65 to 120 seconds on both sides, and the density is further increased to 0.80 g / cm 3 or more. It is possible to suppress the phenomenon that the toner melted at the time of pressure fixing flows out along the fibers on the paper surface and permeates into the voids inside the paper.

It is 5 to 95 g / m 2 . For papers with a basis weight of less than 75 g / m 2 , Beck smoothness of 65 seconds or more and density of 0.8
When the treatment is performed at 0 g / cm 3 or more, the paper thickness becomes thin, and the air layer in the paper layer becomes small, so that the refractive index of light decreases and the show-through of the image occurs, and the waist of the paper is reduced. As a result, the running becomes poor, and the accommodation of the tray or the sorter becomes poor. On the other hand, if the grammage exceeds 95 g / m 2 , the heat capacity of the paper becomes large, so that the toner cannot be sufficiently melted at the time of fixing, which may result in poor fixability and deterioration of toner color development.

In an electrophotographic full-color copying machine or printer, generally, toners of respective colors of black, yellow, magenta, and cyan are transferred onto paper, melted in a fixing step, and then developed by subtractive color mixing of solidified toners. ing. For this reason, a toner having high transparency is used at the time of fusing and fixing, and the color developability of a color image on paper is easily affected by the color of the paper. Therefore, in order to obtain a highly colored image with little color turbidity, it is preferable that the Hunter whiteness of the color of this paper is 82% or more. Obtainable.

In order to improve the full-color image quality, the electrophotographic transfer paper having a basis weight of 75 to 95 g / m 2 has a Beck smoothness of 65 to 120 seconds and a density of 0.80 g.
When a high-density treatment of at least 3 / cm 3 occurs, a phenomenon in which the curl after fixing becomes extremely large occurs. Therefore, as a result of the present inventors' studying the mechanism of this curl generation, the curl after fixing at low image density is dominated by the dehumidification shrinkage of the paper at the time of heat and pressure fixing. Curling after fixing at the image density is caused by a bimetal-like structure of the toner layer and the paper layer, and occurs when the expansion and contraction of the paper layer is large compared to the expansion and contraction of the toner layer due to the small expansion and contraction of the toner layer by absorption and dehumidification It has been found that in some cases, the toner layer melted during fixing contracts when cooled and solidified at room temperature, giving a bending stress to the paper layer and causing curling. And for the former, it is 2 from CD at 20 ℃, 65% RH.
This can be solved by setting the expansion / contraction ratio to 0 ° C. and 25% RH to 0.45% or less. For the latter, the elastic modulus E of CD is
(Kgf / mm 2 ) and paper thickness t (mm), the bending stiffness Et 3 of the paper is 0.26 or more, preferably 0.28.
It was found that the above can solve the problem. Therefore, in the present invention, it is necessary that the expansion / contraction rate of the CD is 0.45% or less and the bending rigidity Et 3 of the paper is 0.26 or more.

Further, a high-quality paper having a basis weight of 75 to 95 g / m 2 , a Beck's smoothness of 65 to 120 seconds, and a density of 0.80 g / cm 3 or more is used, and the above CD expansion ratio and Et 3 are satisfied. In order to increase the fiber orientation of CD, the fiber orientation ratio of MD and CD by the ultrasonic wave propagation method is preferably 1.
It should be 10 to 1.30. If the fiber orientation ratio of MD and CD by this ultrasonic wave propagation method is less than 1.10, the twist curl becomes large, which is not preferable.

The pulp used for the electrophotographic transfer paper of the present invention is LBKP (hardwood bleached kraft pulp), NBKP (softwood bleached kraft pulp), LBSP (hardwood bleached sulfite pulp), NBSP.
Although any of the conventionally known chemical pulps such as (softwood bleaching sulfite pulp) can be used, LBKP is used from the viewpoint of reducing the expansion and contraction rate of CD and increasing Et 3.
It is preferable to blend 80% or more of the total pulp. Further, by blending 30% or more of dry pulp such as LBKP in the total pulp, the interfiber bonding area can be reduced, which is more desirable from the viewpoint of expansion and contraction of CD and Et 3 . Further, as such chemical pulp, non-wood pulp such as cotton pulp, high-yield pulp such as used paper pulp, GP (ground pulp), TMP (thermo-mechanical pulp), etc., in a range where the Hunter whiteness does not fall below 82%.

However, it is possible to use a pulp that is reinforced in the bleaching step of the pulp or to mix a fluorescent dye into the pulp slurry. Good. In addition, the beating degree is adjusted in the adjusting step in order to adjust the freeness of the pulp slurry before papermaking. The beating degree is 400 ml C.I. in order to suppress the interfiber bonding area and the CD expansion / contraction amount even in the case of high-density treated paper. S. F or more, preferably 450 ml C.I. S. It is better to adjust so that it is F or more.

A filler is used in the electrophotographic transfer paper of the present invention in order to adjust opacity, whiteness, surface smoothness and the like. Fillers that can be used include heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate such as chalk, kaolin, calcined clay, pyrophyllite, sericite,
Examples thereof include, but are not limited to, silicic acids such as talc, inorganic fillers such as titanium dioxide, and organic pigments such as urea resin and styrene. From the viewpoint of maintaining image quality and improving whiteness in the electrophotographic system, it is preferable to add calcium carbonate. Further, in order to assist the high smoothing treatment with a Bekk smoothness of 65 seconds or more, or to cut the interfiber bond in the paper layer to some extent and reduce the CD expansion / contraction rate, the filler content is 5 to 15% by weight. , Preferably 7 to 13% by weight. When the content of the filler is less than 5% by weight, smoothing treatment such as calendering is less likely to occur, light refraction due to the filler is reduced, opacity is reduced, and CD stretch ratio is too large. Further, the stiffness of the paper becomes too strong, and the running property is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the content of the filler is more than 15% by weight, paper dust is often generated, which contaminates the inside of a copying machine or a printer, and the friction coefficient of the paper is excessively increased, so that the running property is deteriorated.
