<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording sheet which concurrently has excellent glossiness, image uniformity (dot roundness) and coating liquid handleabilities, high ink absorption/absorption rate, print density and ink acceptance layer strength. <P>SOLUTION: In this method for manufacturing an inkjet recording sheet, a coating liquid application layer is formed by applying a coating liquid which shows hydrophilic nature/hydrophobic nature by a temperature change, and contains a temperature-sensitive polymer compound responsible for thickening or gelatinating the coating liquid in a temperature region indicating the hydrophilic nature, and a pigment, to the surface of a support or the surface of at least, one undercoat layer formed on the support, in a temperature region where the temperature-sensitive polymer compound becomes hydrophobic. Further, the coating liquid application layer is thickened or gelatinated by changing the temperature upto a temperature region where the temperature-sensitive polymer compound becomes hydrophilic, and a surface coating liquid containing a cationic compound is applied to the thickened or gelatinated application layer so that the latter is impregnated with the former. Thus an ink acceptance layer with the cationic compound present in the surface and/or the interior, is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
