<p>Ink-receiving media print media products (10, 100) having multi-functional capabilities including (A) minimal drying time; (B) improved gloss-control which allows the production of high-gloss or semi-gloss products (10, 100) as desired; and (C) the ability to generate high-definition and light-fast images. A first embodiment (high-gloss) employs a substrate (12) (e.g. polyethylene-coated paper) having a porous medial layer (30) thereon containing a pigment (e.g. silica) and a binder (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol). A non-porous top layer (40) is placed on the medial layer (30) which optimally consists entirely of one or more binders (excluding pigments, etc.) A second embodiment (semi-gloss) employs a comparable substrate (12) and medial layer (30) with a top layer (140) similar to that described above, although at least one pigment (e.g. silica) is employed therein at a level not exceeding 10% by weight. Both products (10, 100) provide the foregoing benefits and others. <IMAGE></p> |
