IMAGE RECORDING MEDIA

摘要

An ink image recording medium is provided having excellent color developability and which can effectively prevent a coloring component in ink from transferring to micropores in a medium. The image recording medium comprises (i) a substrate layer containing permeable micropores and (ii) an ink image receptive layer containing water-soluble salts as a coagulating agent disposed on the surface of the substrate layer, characterized in that a surface of the substrate layer and an inner surface of the micropores are hydrophilized with a surfactant. The ink image receptive layer contains a polar organic polymer.
