Abstract
What is described herein is a clear white-appearance, water-resistant, color ink-receptive film having a copolymer of (a) vinyl caprolactam and (b) dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide coated thereon; preferably the weight ratio of (a):(b) is 50-95:50-5; optimally about 80:20. The ink-receptive film of the invention is capable of being printed from a color inkjet printer to form color images thereon which exhibit excellent long-term color stability towards light. These advantageous results are achieved herein while retaining the desired properties of rapid ink dry time, good print quality, highly resolved circular dots, and high, uniform optical density, characteristic of other systems.
