Abstract: The present invention refers to an ink jet receiving sheet having a surface pH value lower than 5.0 and comprising a support and at least a receiving layer containing a binder selected from the group consisting of gelatin and gelatin derivatives and at least a salt of a metal selected from the IIA and IIB groups of the periodic table of elements or complexes which comprise said metal salts. The ink jet receiving sheet of the invention provides minimum post printed drop sweating after stressed ageing in the resulting image, still maintaining a good glossiness.

Abstract: An ink jet printing system includes an ink receiving sheet and an ink-jet printer. The ink receiving sheet includes a support, at least one receiving layer and a top coat layer. The ink-jet printer includes an ink-jet cartridge comprising an ink. The receiving layer includes a hydrophilic binder and a vinyl polymeric compound and has a total coverage weight of at least 12 g/m2, and the top coat layer is free of vinyl polymeric compounds and comprises a hydrophilic binder and a corn starch matting agent. The ink includes a dye selected from the group consisting of azo and disazo dye at a concentration higher than 4% by weight, in order to achieve an optical density higher than 3.00.
