Abstract:
A transfer paper for electrophotography contains a pulp fiber and a magnetic material for generating a large Barkhausen effect. An average dehydration speed S1a (an average value (% by mass/second) of dehydration speeds S1 of 5 sheets of paper) is 0.15 or less. The dehydration speed S1 is represented by (W1a−W1b)/30. Here, W1a represents a moisture content ratio (% by mass) of the paper after moisture conditioning, and W1b represents a moisture content ratio (% by mass) of the paper after a dehydration process including leaving the paper in a 80° C. environment for 30 seconds after moisture conditioning.
