Abstract
A recording sheet is provided by forming, on at least one side of a substrate sheet, an ink absorbing layer comprising a cationic polymer having at least crosslinking groups. The ink absorbing layer may comprise (1) a cationic polymer containing a crosslinking monomer (e.g. a monomer having a hydrolyzable condensing group such as alkoxysilyl) as a comonomer unit, (2) a cationic polymer containing a crosslinking monomer and a hydrophilic monomer (e.g. a monomer having a polyoxyalkylene unit) as comonomer units, or (3) the above cationic polymers (1) and (2), and a hydrophilic polymer. The cationic polymer and the hydrophilic polymer may have interacting reactive groups. This recording sheet is useful for the improvement of the water resistance and ink absorption in an ink jet recording sheet.
