Abstract: An inkjet recording element comprising an absorbent support, a porous base layer nearest the support and comprising precipitated calcium carbonate, a porous ink-receiving intermediate layer above the base layer and comprising hydrated alumina, and a porous ink-receiving upper layer above the intermediate layer and comprising a mixture of hydrated and fumed alumina. Also disclosed is an advantageous method of making such inkjet recording materials.

Abstract: An inkjet recording element comprising an absorbent support, a porous base layer nearest the support, a porous ink-receiving intermediate layer above the base layer, and a porous ink-receiving upper layer above the intermediate layer. The base layer and intermediate layers are each present in an amount of at least 25 g/m2 and the total dry weight coverage of the base layer, the intermediate layer, and the upper layer is 60 to 130 g/m2 in order to handle high fluxes of ink compositions during printing and to provide high gloss upon calendering. Also disclosed is an advantageous method of making such inkjet recording materials.

Abstract: An inkjet recording element comprising a support having thereon, in order, a support having thereon a ink-receiving layer comprising a hydrophilic polymer and particles of an aluminosilicate in an amount of less than 30 weight percent solids, based on the total weight of the layer. Such recording elements exhibit improved humidity keeping for print sharpness.

Abstract: An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon, in order, a hydrophilic absorbing layer and a polymeric overcoat layer comprising particles of a substantially amorphous synthetic aluminosilicate. Such recording elements exhibit improved humidity keeping and smudge resistance, while maintaining good differential gloss.
