Ink jet recording element

An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon the following layers in order:

• a) a base layer comprising a polymeric binder, a polymeric mordant and a stabilizer having the following formula:
• wherein:
• each R individually represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkoxy group having from about 1 to about 7 carbon atoms, a phenyl group having from about 6 to about 10 carbon atoms;
• a phenoxy group having from about 6 to about 10 carbon atoms;
• a carbonamido group having from about 1 to about 8 carbon atoms;
• or two or more R groups can be combined together to form a ring structure;
• n is 1 to 4;
• L is a linking group containing at least one carbon atom;
• and
• M+ is a monovalent cation;
• with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in all the R's and L taken together is at least 3, and at least one R is an alkoxy group;
• and
• b) an overcoat layer comprising a polymeric UV-absorbing material.
