Abstract
Abstract A dimensionally stable photographic paper is prepared by applying a photosensitive coating to a bleached softwood kraft fiber paper substrate containing from about 30 to 90 percent glass fibers. The paper base is prepared by adding from about 30 to 90 percent glass fiber to a bleached softwood kraft fiber pulp suspension just prior to passing the pulp through a paper making machine. The photographic paper of the instant invention has particular utility under conditions of high humidity.
