Ink-jet recording medium and ink-jet recording method making use of it.

摘要

An ink-jet recording medium comprises a substrate and a pigment layer. The pigment layer comprises an upper layer and lower layer. The upper layer contains as a major pigment an aluminum oxide having a specific surface area ranging from 90 m<2>/g to 170 m<2>/g. The lower layer contains as a major pigment an aluminum oxide having a specific surface area smaller than the aluminum oxide in the upper layer, an inorganic pigment selected from a carbonate or silicate of calcium, a carbonate or silicate of magnesium, a silicate of aluminum and hydrotalcite having a specific surface area of not more than 150 m<2>/g, or a basic magnesium carbonate having a specific surface area of not more than 150 m<2>/g.
