Use of organoclays in inkjet receiver layer to prevent the ozone fade of print

Abstract

An inkjet receiver is described which comprises a support and one or more layer coated thereon, at least one layer of which comprises one or more metal organosilicate polymer particulate materials. The metal organosilicate polymer particulate materials are obtainable by contacting a metal salt with a silicon-containing compound having an organic substituent in an organic solvent, wherein either the silicon-containing compound contains a basic group and/or the reaction is conducted in the presence of a base, wherein the metal is selected from one or more of aluminum, magnesium strontium, calcium or zinc and the silicon-containing compound comprises hydrolyzable and non-hydrolyzable substituents such as to form a metal organosilicate polymer particulate material therefrom. The described inkjet receiver is useful for forming images by inkjet printing having excellent color fastness over time.
