Materials for reducing inter-color gloss difference

Abstract

An ink jet ink set and recording element combination including A) a porous ink jet recording element having a 60° specular gloss of at least about 5; and B) a pigment based ink jet ink set including at least two inks; wherein the RGD value is less than 40% and RGV value among inks is less than 10% when 60° is used as the specular angle; the RGD and RGV values are calculated according to Equations (A) and (B), respectively: ⁢ Equation ⁢ ⁢ ( A ) RGD ⁢ ⁢ % = [AutoLeftMatch] ⁢ ∑ I = 1 N ⁢ ⁢ [LeftBracketingBar] Gloss ⁡ ( Imaged ⁢ ⁢ Areas ) I - Gloss ⁡ ( Non ⁢ ⁢ Imaged ⁢ ⁢ Areas ) [RightBracketingBar] ∑ I = 1 N ⁢ ⁢ Gloss ⁡ ( Imaged ⁢ ⁢ Areas ) I ⁢ ⁢ ⁢ Equation ⁢ ⁢ ( B ) ⁢ ⁢ ⁢ RGV ⁢ ⁢ ( % ) = ∑ I = 1 N ⁢ ⁢ [LeftBracketingBar] ( Gloss ⁡ ( Imaged ⁢ ⁢ Area ) I - AG ) [RightBracketingBar] AG / N Where AG = ∑ I = 1 N ⁢ ⁢ Gloss ⁡ ( Imaged ⁢ ⁢ Area ) I N I is a variable which identifies a certain color patch used in the evaluation, N is the total number of color patches used in the evaluation.
