Ink-jet recording material having a polymer matrix coating

摘要

The present invention is directed to a polymer matrix coating used for ink jet media. The polymer matrix coating has a glass transition temperature that is greater than or equal to about 120 DEG C and less than or equal to about 300 DEG C, an integrity value of greater than or equal to about -20% and a swellability of greater than or equal to about 50%. The coating avoids the problem of pigment ink cracking that can occur in conventional ink jet media.
