Abstract
Abstract A watermarked paper sheet for use in a xerographic ion deposition or magnetographic printing process, in which the sheet has print receiving and reverse sides, the print receiving side of the sheet having a surface resistivity of between 5 x 10<1><0> and 5 x 10<1><2> ohms per square and a Bendsten roughness of not more than 300 millilitres, and the reverse side being formed with a watermark.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A watermarked paper sheet for use in a xerographic ion deposition or magnetographic printing process, in which the sheet has print receiving and reverse sides, the print receiving side of the sheet having a surface resistivity of between 5×10 10 and 5×10 12 ohms per square and a Bendsten roughness of not more than 300 milliliters, and the reverse side being formed with a watermark.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A watermarked paper sheet for use in a xerographic ion deposition or magnetographic printing process, in which the sheet has print receiving and reverse sides, the print receiving side of the sheet having a surface resistivity of between 5×10 10 and 5×10 12 ohms per square and a Bendsten roughness of not more than 300 milliliters, and the reverse side being formed with a watermark.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A watermarked paper sheet as claimed in claim 1, in which the Bendsten roughness is in the range 160 to 250 milliliters.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
A watermarked paper sheet as claimed in claim 1, in which watermarks which are unsymmetrical or in the form of words are applied as a negative image to the reverse side of the sheet so as to present a positive image when viewed from the print receiving side.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 words
A watermarked paper sheet for use in a xerographic ion deposition or magnetographic printing process, in which the sheet has print receiving and reverse sides, the print receiving side of the sheet having a surface resistivity of between 5×10 10 and 5×10 12 ohms per square and a Bendsten roughness of not more than 300 milliliters, the sheet having a moisture content in the range of 4% to 6%, and the reverse side being formed with a watermark.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
A watermarked paper sheet for use in a xerographic ion deposition or magnetographic printing process, in which the sheet has print receiving and reverse sides, the print receiving side of the sheet having a surface resistivity of between 5×10 10 and 5×10 12 ohms per square and a Bendsten roughness of not more than 300 milliliters, the sheet having a moisture content in the range of 4% to 6%, and the reverse side being formed with a watermark.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A watermarked paper sheet as claimed in claim 4, in which the moisture content is not more than 5.5%.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A watermarked paper sheet as claimed in claim 5, in which the moisture content is not more than 5%.
