An improved transparent media for ink printing is described. The media is a phase change ink recording media comprising: a polyethylene terephthalate support; a 1-15 mg/dm lower receptor layer coated on the support wherein the lower receptor layer comprises: silica with a particle size of no more than 0.3 &mgr;m and a polymer; wherein the total weight of the polymer and the silica is 82-97%, by weight, silica and 3-18%, by weight, polymer. The media also comprises an optional upper receptive layer comprising a matrix polymer, an inorganic particulate material and a soft polymer matrix.

Transparent media for phase change ink printing

An improved transparent media for ink printing is described. The media is a phase change ink recording media comprising: a polyethylene terephthalate support; a 1-15 mg/dm,lower receptor layer coated on the support wherein the lower receptor layer comprises: silica with a particle size of no more than 0.3 &mgr;m and a polymer; wherein the total weight of the polymer and the silica is 82-97%, by weight, silica and 3-18%, by weight, polymer. The media also comprises an optional upper receptive layer comprising a matrix polymer, an inorganic particulate material and a soft polymer matrix.

The present invention is directed to a recording medium for recording with a phase change ink. The medium comprises a substrate with a support layer and an adhesive layer coated thereon. The adhesive layer coated on said support layer at a coating weight of no more than 10 mg/dm,, comprises a blooming crosslinker and the adhesive layer is soluble in the phase change ink.
