Recording medium

Abstract

A recording medium includes an ink-receiving layer formed by applying a coating liquid onto at least one surface of a substrate and drying the coating liquid, the coating liquid containing hydrated alumina and a binder, in which the hydrated alumina in the coating liquid has an average particle size of 100 nm to 250 nm, the surface of the ink-receiving layer has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 0.8 μm to 2.5 μm, the arithmetic average roughness Ra being specified by JIS B0601:2001, and the surface of the ink-receiving layer has a specular gloss at 60° of 10.0% or less, the specular gloss at 60° being specified by JIS Z8741.
