A converting line for producing a paper product. The converting line includes a paper web being unwound from a parent roll. The paper web has a plurality of sections with at least one mark having a paper rating assigned to each of the plurality of sections. The converting line also includes a mark reading unit that reads at least one of the plurality of marks on the paper web and produces a corresponding output. The converting line includes a controller that receives the output from the mark reading unit, and is configured: (i) to obtain the paper rating associated with the at least one mark read by the reading unit, and (ii) to change at least one operational parameter of the converting line based upon the paper rating. The converting line also includes a finisher. The paper web is fed to the finisher and converted into a paper product.

There is provided a decorative sheet having high ink adhesion without using an oil-based ink having a high environmental load. The decorative sheet includes: a base paper; a thermoplastic resin layer provided on one surface side of the base paper; an ink layer provided on the thermoplastic resin layer of opposite to the base paper side and containing a water-based ink and at least one of a xylene diamine-based curing agent, a polycarbodiimide-based curing agent, and an aziridine-based curing agent as a curing agent; and a surface protective layer provided on the opposite surface side to the thermoplastic resin layer of the ink layer. The addition amount of the curing agent in the ink layer is preferably 1 part by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of the water-based ink.
