Abstract
A multicolor ink jet recording paper with improved dimensional stability for wide format printing is achieved by applying to at least one side of a paper support a dimensional stability improving layer containing polyethylene oxide polymer or copolymer. A suitable ink receptive layer is applied to the thus coated paper. The dimensional stability layer can be applied on the opposite side of the support as the ink receptive layer or as an underlayer of the ink receptive layer, and can be applied on both sides of the paper support. The ink jet recording paper possesses a short dry time, provides superior image quality, and is free of print defects typical in wide format paper bond printing.
