Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a photographic element comprising at least one photosensitive layer, and a base material comprising an upper and lower biaxially oriented polymer sheet separated by a paper sheet, wherein said base material has a thickness of greater than 254 micrometers, a stiffness of greater than 325 millinewtons in any direction, and an upper surface roughness of less than 0.45 micrometers at a spatial frequency of between 0.30 and 6.35 millimeters, and a transmission percent of less than 15 percent.
