An ink jet−use recording sheet comprising a sheet−form support, and at least one organic particle−containing ink receptor layer provided on the recording−side surface of the support, wherein a contact angle between the recording sheet and a water droplet, ten seconds after 4 μl of pure water is dripped onto the recording surface of the recording sheet, is at least 90°, and a contact angle between the recording sheet an ink droplet, one second after 4 μl of ink is dripped onto the recording surface of the recording sheet, is up to 30°. The ink jet−use recording sheet is excellent in ink absorbing power, coloring concentration, light resistance and yellowing resistance, and has water repellency enabling quick ink absorbing and water repelling to protect the printing surface from water.
