Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a photographic printing paper support comprising a waterproof substrate constituted of raw paper and polyolefin resin coats covering the both surfaces thereof, which further has on the back side of the substrate a backing layer containing at least (a) colloidal silica, (b) an aqueous dispersion of a styrene-acrylate copolymer prepared by the polymerization in the presence of a water-soluble high-molecular compound, (c) at least one substance selected from a group consisting of carboxyl or sulfo group-containing water-soluble high-molecular compounds, the metal salts thereof and hydrophilic organic high-molecular colloidal substances and (d) an aqueous dispersion of a polyolefin resin having a melting point below 100°C.
