Abstract
An ink jet printing medium is disclosed. It contains (a) a substrate; (b) an ink absorption layer; and (c) a reinforcement layer sandwiched between said substrate and said ink absorption layer. The reinforcement layer, which is provided at a thickness about 5% to 100% of a thickness of said ink absorption layer, comprises: (a) a carboxylated acrylonitrile rubber at about 7 to 25 wt %; (b) an epoxy resin containing at least two epoxy groups, about 45 to 70 wt %; (c) a hardener containing at least two functional groups, provided at an equivalent ratio of between about 0.9 and 1.1 relative to said epoxy resin; and (d) a catalyst. The inkjet printing medium exhibits excellent adhesion between the ink absorption medium and the substrate, and improved water resistance without affecting printing quality.
