Abstract: A recording medium and a recording method are provided which can realize an image having excellent storage stability. An ink composition comprising a colorant of at least one dye selected from the group consisting of a stilbene azo dye, a triphenylmethane dye, and a xanthene dye is used, and the recording medium having a recording layer comprising silica and a binder, wherein the binder comprises a polymer component, 5 to 55% by weight of a polymer component of the binder is a styrene/butadiene latex, and 20 to 45% by weight of the styrene/butadiene latex is derived from a butadiene monomer.

Abstract: An ink jet recording medium is disclosed, comprising a base having provided on one side thereof a recording layer having an ink receiving layer whose surface is smoother than plain paper's and on the other side thereof a coating layer comprising an aqueous binder containing 10 to 40% by weight of a higher fatty acid salt to a coating weight of 0.1 to 0.3 g/m.sup.2. An ink jet recording medium is also disclosed, comprising a base having provided on only one side thereof a recording layer, said recording layer having a coefficient of dynamic friction of 0.65 to 0.75 in mutual friction, the back surface of said base having a coefficient of dynamic friction of 0.15 to 0.25 in mutual friction, and the coefficient of static friction between said recording layer and said back surface is 0.55 to 0.65. The ink jet recording medium is prevented from being double-fed and can be transferred at improved precision, thereby providing high quality images.
