Ink jet recording element

Abstract

An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon an image-receiving layer, the ink jet recording element containing core/shell particles wherein the shell of the particles consists a metal(oxy)hydroxide complex, Mn+(O)a(OH)b(Ap−)c•xH2O, wherein M is at least one metal ion; n is 3 or 4; A is an organic or inorganic ion; p is 1, 2 or 3; and x is equal to or greater than 0; with the proviso that when n is 3, then a, b and c each comprise a rational number as follows: 0≦a<1.5; 0<b<3; and 0≦pc<3, so that the charge of the M3+ metal ion is balanced; and when n is 4, then a, b and c each comprise a rational number as follows: 0≦a<2; 0<b<4; and 0≦pc<4, so that the charge of the M4+ metal ion is balanced.
