  • Publication number: 20050179759
    Abstract: This invention is an inkjet recording sheet having a high gloss cast coating recording layer containing a pigment and a binder comprising mainly polyvinyl alcohol on a support having air permeability, wherein the pigment is a mixture comprising alumina (A) and silica (B) having an average particle diameter of 100˜500 nm, blended in the proportion of A:B=95:5˜50:50 in terms of weight ratio. The silica (B) is preferably a silica to which cationic properties have been imparted, and the alumina (A) is preferably ?-alumina. Due to this, the gloss of a silver halide photograph together with excellent ink absorption properties and print density can be obtained.
