Recording medium

A recording medium comprising:

• a substrate;
• and
• ink receiving layers including a first ink receiving layer disposed on the substrate and a second ink receiving layer disposed on the first ink receiving layer, the first ink receiving layer containing first inorganic particles including alumina particles and silica particles and a first binder in such proportions that the mass ratio of the binder to the first inorganic particles is 0.13 or more and 0.33 or less, and that the mass ratio of the alumina particles to the silica particles is 0.43 or more and 2.33 or less, the second ink receiving layer containing second inorganic particles and a second binder in such a proportion that the mass ratio of the second binder to the second inorganic particles is 0.05 or more and 0.30 or less, the second ink receiving layer having a thickness of 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less, the ink receiving layers having a total thickness of 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less.
