The present invention provides a recording medium having an ink receiving layer on its base material, in which the ink receiving layer is obtained by coating the base material with dispersed liquid containing aluminum hydrate, a coupling agent, and a resin emulsion having hydrolyzable groups expressed by the following general formula (1): -MRn(OR')3-n where R and R' represent hydrogen or alkyl groups, which may be either identical or different; n represents an integer from 0 to 2; and M represents Si, Ti, or Zr. In addition, the invention provides an image formation method for forming an image by ejecting ink from micropores to attach the ink on a recording medium, in which the image formation method uses the recording medium described above. Moreover, the invention also provides a production method of a recording medium that is produced by forming an ink receiving layer on a base material, in which the ink receiving layer is formed by coating the base material with dispersed liquid containing aluminum hydrate, a coupling agent, and a resin emulsion having hydrolyzable groups expressed by the general formula (1), and thereafter drying the recording medium. <IMAGE> |
