Additional systems and corresponding methods are disclosed.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a porous support that is unlikely to curl (the incidence of MD curling is low). This porous support has a polymer porous layer on one surface of a nonwoven cloth layer, the nonwoven cloth layer having an MD bend stiffness of 1.2 to 2.1 g.Math.cm.sup.2/cm, and an MD bend recovery of 0.3 to 0.6 g.Math.cm/cm. The nonwoven cloth layer is impregnated with a polymer that is the material for forming the polymer porous layer, the impregnation ratio of the polymer impregnated in the nonwoven cloth layer being 25 to 34% by weight of the total weight of the polymer in the polymer porous layer and the polymer impregnated in the nonwoven cloth layer.
