Abstract: An ink jet recording medium is provided which can be excellent in the ink-absorbing property, showing a high coloring property of images, and capable of printing images of a high image quality without causing color unevenness even by bidirectional printing using a high-resolution printer. An ink jet recording medium in the case of carrying out bidirectional printing using a printer of a serial system wherein inks of at least two colors are mounted in carriages and the nozzle row is disposed in parallel with the main scanning direction of a head, wherein the recording medium comprises a base material and an ink-receiving layer, the ink-receiving layer has an average ink-absorbing capacity of from 10 to 30 cc/cm2, and the contact angle of the uppermost surface layer of the ink-receiving layer is from 20 to 60 degree to an ink having a surface tension of from 25 to 72 dyn/cm, is also provided.

Abstract: An ink-jet recording material having on a support at least an ink-receiving layer, with the ink-receiving layer being comprised of a light resistance-imparting layer as a lower layer and a coloration layer as an upper layer. Herein, the light resistance-imparting layer comprises a light-resistance imparting chemical constituted of 1 to 10 parts by weight of a benzotriazole compound as ultraviolet absorbent, 1 to 8 parts by weight of magnesium sulfate and 1 to 10 parts by weight of zinc oxide in combination with 100 parts by weight of an ink absorbing pigment, and besides, the coloration layer contains no light resistance-imparting chemicals.
