Abstract
An ink jet printing method having the steps of: A) providing an ink jet printer that is responsive to digital data signals, B) loading the printer with an ink jet recording element of a substrate having thereon: a) a subbing layer having a polymeric binder and a borate or a borate derivative, the borate or borate derivative being present in an amount of from about 3 to about 50 g/m , and the weight ratio of the polymeric binder to the borate or borate derivative is from about 0.2:1 to about 2:1, and b) an image-receiving layer having particles and a cross-linkable polymer containing hydroxyl groups, the cross-linkable polymer being present in an amount of from about 20 to about 150 g/m , and the weight ratio of the cross-linkable polymer to the particles is from about 10:90 to about 30:70; C) loading the printer with an ink jet ink composition; and D) printing on the ink jet recording element using the ink jet ink composition in response to the digital data signals.
