Material to be printed by an ink-jet printer

Abstract

A printing material 10 wherein a white layer 2 and an absorption layer 3 are formed in this order on a base material 1 made of a resin film. The base material 1 has been made black and opaque, while the white layer contains titanium oxide so as to make it white and opaque. The absorption layer 3 contains a protein and absorbs aqueous inks. Because of containing a hydrophilic and water-resistant binder resin, the white layer 2 is highly compatible with aqueous inks which have permeated the absorption layer 3 and reached the white layer 2, thereby giving a vivid image. An advertising poster to be adhered to a windowpane of a bus, etc. can be obtained by forming a number of holes 26 in this printing material 10 and then forming an image with the use of an ink jet printer.
