Abstract
Abstract A twin ply uncoated paper for ink jet processes comprised of a supporting paper substrate sheet as a first ply, and thereover as a second ply a paper sheet with filler additives attached to the fibers thereof, which additives are, for example, selected from the group consisting of amorphous synthetic silicas, inorganic silicates, metal alumino-silicates, and inorganic oxides. Three ply papers are also illustrated wherein there is situated between two second plies a supporting substrate sheet.
