Abstract: The present invention provides an image-recording material support having high surface smoothness and excellent gloss, a method for producing the same and an image-recording material using the image-recording material support. To this end, the present invention provides a image-recording material support which has a raw paper and a polymer coating layer on both surfaces of the raw paper, wherein the raw paper has a value of tensile energy absorption (TEA) in the CD direction/basis weight of 1,000 mJ/g to 2,100 mJ/g and is subjected to a soft calender treatment such that a surface of the raw paper on which an image is to be recorded makes contact with a roller having a surface temperature of 200° C. to 350° C.
