Recording medium, ink-jet recording therewith, and process for production thereof

摘要

A recording medium comprises a porous outermost layer on a substrate, the porous outermost layer containing a particulate thermoplastic resin, and the particulate thermoplastic resin exhibiting a DELTA E value of not higher than 20 after light exposure. The difference of glass transition temperature of the particulate thermoplastic resin from minimum film-forming temperature thereof may be not less than 10 DEG C, and the minimum film-forming temperature is not lower than 50 DEG C. A process for producing the recording medium comprises forming a porous outermost layer by heat treatment at a temperature of not lower than the glass transition temperature of the particulate thermoplastic resin, but not higher than the minimum film-forming temperature thereof. <IMAGE>
