Abstract
Abstract A synthetic paper printable in high gloss comprises (1) a multilayer support, (2) a layer of a transparent film of a thermoplastic resin free from an inorganic fine powder formed on one surface of the support (1), and (3) a primer layer of a specific material. The support (1) comprises (1a) a base layer of a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin and a surface and a back layer (1b) and (1c) composed of a monoaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing from 8 to 65% by weight of an inorganic fine powder.
