<p>A recording medium that is excellent in ink absorptivity and color fixing performance and permits regulation or control of the binder of ink receptive layer; and a process for producing a recording medium with high productivity. In particular, a process for producing a recording medium, comprising at least the steps of performing a surface treatment on a substrate and forming an ink receptive layer with the use of a coating liquid comprising at least a pigment, polyvinyl alcohol and one or more selected from the group consisting of boric acid and boric acid salts, wherein the surface treatment step comprises the first surface treatment step of sequentially performing application of a coating liquid comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of boric acid and boric acid salts, drying and hardening and, conducted after the first surface treatment step, the second surface treatment step of performing application of a coating liquid comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of boric acid and boric acid salts, and wherein the coating liquid of the ink receptive layer is applied onto the substrate while the substrate maintains wet condition due to the coating liquid applied in the second surface treatment step.</p> |
