1. A method for producing a wet-laid nonwoven fabric for a semipermeable membrane supporting body, the method comprising:

  • performing papermaking according to a wet papermaking method by using a fiber slurry containing a synthetic fiber as a main constituent fiber;

    drying the fiber slurry to form a dried sheet;

    subsequently subjecting the dried sheet to hot press processing a first time and a second time by using a heat calender apparatus,wherein the hot press processing at the second time is at a temperature that is higher by 10°

    C. or more than the hot press processing at the first time,wherein the heat calender apparatus used for hot press processing during the first time and the second time is a hard nip heat calender apparatus in which the metal rolls are arranged in four or more stages along a height direction of the hard nip heat calender apparatus;

    thereby obtaining a wet-laid nonwoven fabric for a semipermeable membrane supporting body; and

    determining whether the wet-laid nonwoven fabric for a semipermeable membrane supporting body satisfies at least one of a first condition or a second condition by extracting one or more samples,wherein the first condition is that spots where a printing ink does not easily adhere on a printed surface side are not observed when solid printing is carried out with the printing ink over an entire surface of the one or more samples,wherein the second condition is that when the one or more samples have been cut to a size of 210 mm×

    297 mm and subjected to solid printing over an entire surface with the printing ink, spots where the printing ink does not easily adhere on a printed surface side are not observed in 95% or more of the one or more samples, andusing the wet-laid nonwoven fabric on a semipermeable membrane supporting body to which a semipermeable membrane liquid is to be applied if at least one of the first condition or the second condition is satisfied.
