An ink jet recording element with a support having thereon an image-receiving layer of inorganic particles and stabilizer particles, the stabilizer particles being free of any organic solvent and containing greater than about 80% by weight of a water-insoluble antioxidant and having a mean particle size of greater than 5 nm, the inorganic particles being greater than about 50% by weight of the ink receiving layer.

Ink jet recording element

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.

Glossy inkjet recording element on absorbent paper

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/mand the total dry weight coverage of the base layer, the intermediate layer, and the upper layer is 60 to 130 g/min 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.

Glossy inkjet recording element on absorbent paper and capable of absorbing high ink flux

The invention relates generally to the field of inkjet recording media and inkjet printing methods. More specifically, the invention relates to a porous base layer of an inkjet recording element, the base layer comprising precipitated calcium carbonate having scalenohedral morphology.

Inkjet recording media comprising precipitated calcium carbonate

An inkjet recording element having a support having thereon in order: (I) a base layer of at least about 50% by weight of inorganic particles; and (II) an image-receiving layer of: (a) colloidal, inorganic oxide particles having a mean particle size of from about 10 to about 500 nm; and (b) water-insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles having a benzyldimethyl benzylammonium moiety.

An ink jet printing method having the steps of: A) providing an ink jet printer that is responsive to digital data signals; B) loading the printer with ink jet recording element having a support having thereon in order: (I) a base layer of at least about 50% by weight of inorganic particles; and (II) an image-receiving layer of a) colloidal, inorganic oxide particles having a mean particle size of from about 10 to about 500 nm; and (b) water-insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles having a benzyldimethyl benzylammonium moiety, C) loading the printer with an ink jet ink composition, and D) printing on the image-receiving layer using the ink jet ink.
