Print media which includes at least one ink-receiving layer comprising at least one anionic fluorosurfactant and may be positioned over the substrate and/or be supported by the substrate.

Print media and methods for making the same

There is described a recording sheet for ink jet printing comprising a polyethylene coated paper support having coated onto the front side of said support one ink receiving layer comprising a mixture of gelatin and rice starch.

Recording sheets for ink jet printing

Ink-receiving print media products capable of producing high quality printed images which are light-fast, humid-fast, have low coalescence (graininess) levels, and are characterized by other beneficial attributes. The print media products have at least one ink-receiving layer supported by a substrate. The ink-receiving layer includes a binder blend designed to achieve the aforementioned goals, namely, gelatin, a poly(vinyl alcohol-polyethylene oxide) copolymer, and a poly((styrene)-(n-butyl acrylate)-(methyl methacrylate)-(2-(tert-butylamino) ethyl methacrylate)) copolymer. One or more optional pigments and/or additional binders can also be included within the ink-receiving layer. The ink-receiving layer may optionally be employed in combination with one or more additional material layers thereover or thereunder which can contain, for example, one or more pigments and/or binders.
