Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing an optical recording medium, featuring a high production yield, a reduced loss and a high utilization of dye solution, and ensuring to produce media of consistent quality even by continuous coating as well as an optical recording medium. The object is achieved by a method for preparing an optical recording medium, comprising the step of applying a solution of a dye in a solvent onto a resin substrate to form a dye film, wherein the solvent of the dye solution is a mixture of tetrafluoropropanol and/or octafluoropentanol with an aliphatic saturated alcohol of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a recording layer is formed by applying the dye solution.
