Water-resistant recording material for inkjet printing

Water-resistant recording material for an inkjet process using water-based inks, said recording material comprising:

• a substrate paper containing from 10% by weight to 90% by weight of cellulosic fibers and from 40% by weight to 1% by weight of synthetic fibers, said synthetic fibers selected from the group consisting of polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, viscose fibers, and mixtures thereof,
• said substrate paper comprising from 50% by weight to 5% by weight of binder selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate copolymers, styrene/butadiene copolymers, styrene/butadiene/acrylonitrile terpolymers, styrene/(meth)acrylate copolymers, (meth)acrylic polymers and ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid copolymers, said binder excluding water soluble polymer binders;
• at least one recording layer arranged on at least one main surface of the substrate paper said recording layer having a basis weight of 10 g/m.sup.2 to 50 g/m.sup.2 and containing an abrasion-resistant pigment and a dried residue of an aqueous polymer dispersion as polymeric binder;
• said aqueous polymer dispersion having a minimum film formation temperature between -20.degree. C. and +50.degree. C. and, if desired, said recording layer further containing a water soluble binder selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, starch, starch derivatives and a crosslinking agent for the binder;
• and
• said recording material after storage for 24 hours at 23.degree. C. in water having over 80% of a tear strength of said recording material before said storage in water, measured according to DIN 53128 and having a colour difference .DELTA.E of less than 10, measured according to DIN 6174, of areas of primary colours applied to the recording layer in an inkjet process, based on initial colour values before said storage in water.
