An optical recording medium of the present invention includes a support substrate, a functional layer for storing data, and a transparent ink-receiving layer provided opposite to the functional layer with respect to the support substrate, wherein the support substrate has a brightness of 8 or more, and a chroma of 4 or less. Therefore, a colored layer of white ink need not be provided between the ink-receiving layer and the support substrate, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. Also, the surface quality of the support substrate is reflected in the ink-receiving layer. For example, when the support substrate is formed by injection, therefore, the average surface roughness (Ra) of the ink-receiving layer is significantly decreased. Thus, printing by an ink jet printer can achieve a color and brilliance close to those of a silver salt photograph.
