Recording medium, ink-jet recording therewith, and process for production thereof

There is provided a recording medium comprising a substrate and an ink-receiving layer containing alumina hydrate formed thereon, wherein the alumina hydrate is present unoriented in the ink-receiving layer and a diffraction intensity fluctuation &dgr; in a diffraction pattern is not more than 5%, when irradiating an electron beam to a cross section of the ink-receiving layer.

Recording medium and recording method for using the same

A deposition method is adapted to deposit a zinc oxide film that has a high light transmittance, an adequate specific electric resistance and a large thickness at a high deposition rate and at low cost in a process that may last long but is stable. The method for depositing a zinc oxide film on a substrate held in an inert gas atmosphere is conducted by magnetron sputtering so that the maximum magnetic flux density in a direction parallel to the surface of the zinc oxide target is held to be not higher than 350 gauss.

Method and apparatus for depositing zinc oxide film and method for

Disclosed herein is a recording medium comprising a base material and a porous surface layer containing particles of a thermoplastic resin, wherein the breadth of the particle size distribution of the particles of the thermoplastic resin is within 3.sigma., and the proportion of particles having a particle size at most a fifth of the average particle size of the particles of the thermoplastic resin is 10% or lower.
