Abstract: Provided is an inkjet recording medium in which hydrated alumina and a sulfinic acid compound or thiosulfonic acid compound coexist in a pigment in an ink receiving layer, and which can prevent white-background yellowing during storage in a resin file holder or the like and ensure printing quality at the same time. The ink receiving layer of the inkjet recording medium contains the sulfinic acid compound or thiosulfonic acid compound, which functions to prevent yellowing, in a salt form or in a free form so as to be diffusible.

Abstract: The invention provides a recording medium for ink having an ink absorbing ability capable of absorbing ink of a large amount at a high speed, showing an excellent color forming ability and capable of suppressing an image deterioration by a dye displacement which tends to appear particularly in an image storage under a high humidity condition, and an image deterioration caused by light when a printed image is displayed, and showing an excellent stability with time of the printed image, and a method for producing such recording medium for ink.

Abstract: The invention provides a recording medium providing an image storage property over a prolonged period and satisfactory recording properties at the same time, and a producing method for securely realizing such characteristics. In incorporating a colorant deterioration preventing agent in an ink-receiving layer, the colorant deterioration preventing agent is dissolved in a solvent and is applied on the ink-receiving layer thereby forming a high concentration region containing the colorant deterioration preventing agent at a high concentration and a low concentration region containing the colorant deterioration preventing agent at a low concentration, with the high concentration region positioned closer to the recording surface.

Abstract: A recording medium for ink jet printing comprises a base material layer such as paper or plastic sheet, a porous lower layer formed on the base material layer, and a porous upper layer formed on the porous lower layer. The porous lower layer contains hydrated alumina showing a boehmite structure. The porous upper layer mainly comprises agglomerates of spherical silica particles with particle diameters ranging between 1 and 100 nm and a binder and contains voids mainly found between the agglomerates, not within the agglomerates. Preferably, a second type of spherical silica particles having smaller particle diameters than the above first type of spherical silica particles are also contained in the porous upper layer, and in this case, the first type particles have particle diameters ranging between 10 and 100 nm and are mostly found outside the agglomerates, while the second type particles have particle diameters ranging between 1 and 10 nm and are mostly found within the agglomerates.
