The invention provides a paper having a paper body which contains pulp fiber and a magnetic material having a large Barkhausen effect, and an image that is formed on at least one surface of the paper body and is simulative of the magnetic material contained in the paper body.
1. A paper comprising:
a paper body which contains pulp fiber,
a magnetic material embedded in the interior of the paper body, the magnetic material having a large Barkhausen effect; and
a pseudo-image which is formed on at least one surface of the paper body, the pseudo-image simulating an image of the magnetic material contained in the paper body;
wherein the pseudo-image includes a first image that is formed on the one surface of the paper body, and a second image that is formed on a surface opposite to the one surface of the paper body.
2. The paper of claim 1 , wherein at least part of the first image and at least part of the second image overlap each other when projected in the thickness direction of the paper body.
3. The paper of claim 1 , wherein the first image and the second image are directed in the same direction, and the first image and the second image are at positions at which two edges of the first image and two edges of the second image coincide when projected in the thickness direction of the paper body.
4. The paper of claim 1 , wherein the pseudo-image includes an image which is simulative of the magnetic material contained in the paper body by a visual inspection by reflected light at the surface of the paper, and an image which is simulative of the magnetic material contained in the paper body by a visual inspection by light transmitted through the paper.
5. The paper of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material is localized in a central area with respect to a direction perpendicular to a papermaking direction, in a plane of the paper body.
