Sheet for ink jet recording

Abstract

A sheet for ink jet recording, comprising a sheet support and at least one ink receptive layer containing organic particles superimposed on a recording surface side of the sheet support, which sheet for ink jet recording has a recording surface exhibiting an angle of contact of dropped water with the recording surface, measured 10 sec after dropping of 4 μl of pure water on the recording surface, of 90° or more and exhibiting an angle of contact of dropped ink with the recording surface, measured 1 sec after dropping of 4 μl of ink on the recording surface, of 30° or less. The provided sheet for ink jet recording is excellent in ink absorptivity, is excellent in color density, light fastness and yellowing resistance, and exhibits such a water repellency that print surface can be protected from water through repelling of water despite rapid absorption of inks.
