Abstract

A medium for electrophotographic printing or copying comprising a polymeric substrate coated with a polymeric coating having a Tukon hardness of about 0.5 to 5.0 and a glass transition temperature of about 5.degree. to 45.degree. C., said coating containing at least one pigment which provides a coefficient of static friction of from 0.20 to 0.80 and a coefficient of dynamic friction of from 0.10 to 0.40. The medium of the invention has improved image quality and toner adhesion. It is particularly useful in laser electrophotographic printing.
