LIQUID SORPTIVE COATING FOR INK JET RECORDING MEDIA

摘要

The present invention is directed to a liquid sorptive coating for an ink jet recording media. The liquid sorptive coating contains a hydroxyalkyl methylcellulose and at least one nitrogen-containing component. The hydroxyalkyl methylcellulose is preferably present in the coating in an amount of about 70 to about 98% based on the amount of solids in the coating. The hydroxyalkyl methylcellulose also preferably has a hydroxyalkyl content of from about 3 mol. % to about 15 mol. % and a methoxyl content of from about 15 mol. % to about 28 mol. %.
