本発明は写真印画紙用支持体に関し、特に表面の平滑性
の良い写真印画紙用支持体に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a support for photographic paper, and particularly to a support for photographic paper that has a good surface smoothness.
(従来の技術)
現在、表面が平滑で光沢を有する写真が一般的に好まれ
ている。(Prior Art) Currently, photographs with smooth and glossy surfaces are generally preferred.
この場合、写真乳剤層の厚さは10.czm前後と極め
て薄く、写真印画紙表面の平滑性がその下の支持体表面
の平滑性と殆ど同じであるため、表面が平滑な写真印画
紙用支持体が必要とされている。In this case, the thickness of the photographic emulsion layer is 10. There is a need for a support for photographic paper that has a smooth surface because it is extremely thin, around czm, and the smoothness of the surface of the photographic paper is almost the same as the smoothness of the surface of the support underneath.
そして、表面が平滑な写真印画紙用支持体を得るために
は、それを構成する原紙が平滑であることが望ましい。In order to obtain a photographic paper support with a smooth surface, it is desirable that the base paper constituting it is smooth.
特にフェロタイプ掛けをせずにプリント仕上げを行う写

ト的に見合った被覆層の厚み範囲内では支持体表面から
原紙の凹凸を隠蔽することは難しく、支持体表面の平滑
性は原紙の平滑性に左右されるため、原紙が平滑である
ことが必須であるとされている。Particularly in the case of photographic paper that is printed without ferrotyping, even if the surface of the base paper is coated with polyolefin and a photographic emulsion layer is formed on top of it, it is still possible to create a coating layer that is cost-effective. It is difficult to hide the unevenness of the base paper from the support surface within the thickness range, and the smoothness of the support surface depends on the smoothness of the base paper, so it is said that it is essential that the base paper be smooth.
そこで従来より、写真印画紙用支持体に使用する原紙表

る。Therefore, various proposals have been made to improve the surface smoothness of the base paper used as a support for photographic paper. 4 m+ to 0.9 m, and the number average fiber width measured with a microscope is 13.5 μm or more,
A support for photographic paper (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-69649) has been proposed using a base paper made of pulp fibers having a number average fiber thickness of 4 μm or less as measured in the cross section of the fibers.
(発明が解決しようとする課題)
しかしながら、単にパルプ繊維の範囲を上記の特定の範
囲に限定するだけでは必ずしも平滑な原紙を得ることが
できない上、この様な細かい繊維を使用することは紙力
が低くなるのみならずコスト的にも不利であるという欠
点があった。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, simply limiting the range of pulp fibers to the above-mentioned specific range does not necessarily result in a smooth base paper, and the use of such fine fibers is difficult to obtain due to paper strength. This method has the drawback that it not only has a low value but is also disadvantageous in terms of cost.

限定する値として信鯨性に乏しく、原紙製造の際の管理
因子として不適当であるという欠点がある。In addition, specifying the number average fiber width and number average fiber thickness described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-69649 requires a lot of effort and time for measurement and subsequent statistical calculation processing. The disadvantage is that it is complicated. or,
The above factors are said to be unsuitable as values for limiting the range of pulp fibers, as they swell and change over time from the time of pulp slurry preparation, and are inappropriate as control factors during base paper production. There are drawbacks.

善された。Such disadvantages arise when using a method using a base paper produced by a paper-combining method (JP-A No. 63-204250) or when the weight average fiber length is in the range of 0.4 to 0.9 m and the water retention is 1.
This was improved by using a base paper containing pulp fibers in the range of 20% to 190% (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59350/1983).
しかしながら、これらによる改善にも限度があり、尚満
足のできるものではなかった。However, there are limits to the improvements made by these methods, and they are still unsatisfactory.

到達した。As a result of intensive studies from this point of view, the present inventors found that at least the upper layer of the laminated paper has a weight average fiber length of 0.4W to
It is in the range of 0.9 am and the water retention degree is 120% to 190
The inventors have discovered that very good results can be obtained by using pulp fibers in the range of % to 100%.
従って、本発明の第1の目的は、写真印画紙用支持体に

It is in the range of 4u ~ 0.9mm and has a water retention degree of 120
% to 190%.
本発明に於いて、原紙として使用する抄き合わせ紙は多
[(2〜5層)を抄き合わせたものであり、特に2〜3
層を抄き合わせたものが好ましい。In the present invention, the laminated paper used as the base paper is a laminated paper made by laminating multiple layers (2 to 5 layers), especially 2 to 3 layers.
Preferably, the layers are combined.
これらの抄き合せ紙の製造は円網抄紙又は長網抄紙によ

パルプとしては、針葉樹、広葉樹等から得られる各種天
然パルプ及び合成パルプが使用される。As the pulp, various natural pulps and synthetic pulps obtained from coniferous trees, hardwoods, etc. are used.
パルプの炉水度は150〜400dであり、好ましくは
200〜350−である。The furnace water degree of the pulp is 150 to 400 d, preferably 200 to 350 d.

範囲にあるパルプを使用する。In the present invention, among these pulps, in particular, pulps with a weight average fiber length of 0.4 mm as measured by a polarized light transmission type fiber length analyzer are used.
A pulp in the range ~0.9mm, preferably 0.45an to 0.6am is used.
この繊維長の測定方法、及び重量平均繊維長の算出方法

mff1の試料液が使用される。The method for measuring the fiber length and the method for calculating the weight average fiber length are performed according to the method described in JP-A-60-69649. In this measurement, the amount of liquid containing approximately 0.00111% of pulp fibers is 50d~100%.
A sample solution of mff1 is used.

ことができない。If the weight average fiber length is less than 0.4ffII11, the strength of the base paper will drop significantly and the base paper will easily tear in the post-papermaking process, and if it exceeds 0.9mm, it will not have good formation. However, when the base paper is dried, significant shrinkage occurs, and the protrusions are difficult to collapse even after calendering, making it impossible to obtain a base paper with excellent smoothness, making it impossible to achieve the object of the present invention.

によって表される。This water retention rate is determined by suction-filtering the beaten pulp suspension through a suitable filtration container called a centrifugal cup, placing the entire container into the sedimentation tube of a centrifuge, centrifuging it under certain conditions for a certain period of time, and dehydrating it. Take out the pulp and weigh it, then 10
If the sample weight after centrifugation is A and the weight after absolute drying is B when the absolute dry weight is determined by drying at 5°C, it is expressed as follows.
