The protective layer is formed by applying a coating solution for the protective layer containing a pigment, a binder, and an emulsion of silicone oil dispersed so that an average particle diameter of silicone oil is 0.15 &mgr;m or less. It is preferable that the silicone oil is at least one type of silicone oil selected from the group consisting of ether modified silicone oil, carboxy modified silicone oil and amino modified silicone oil. Further, it is preferable that the silicone oil has a viscosity within a range from 400 to 100,000 cps.
