Abstract
Abstract An ink fusion transfer paper having a recording layer comprising at least one layer on a support, this paper being characterized in that the uppermost layer of the recording layer consist of at least 100 parts by weight of a pigment and 10-50 parts by weight of a binder, the layer being applied to one or both sides of the support at a rate of 5-50 g/m, per side in terms of dry solids, 30-100 weight percent of the aforesaid pigment consist of a synthetic silica having a specific surface of 20-600 m2/g, and the 75 degree gloss of the aforesaid uppermost layer of the paper is no less than 50%.
