An ink jet printing process for improving the durability and image quality of an ink jet image comprising:
- a) providing an ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon an image-receiving layer containing an ink jet image;
- and
- b) applying over the surface of said image-receiving layer a composition consisting essentially of an aqueous dispersion of water-dispersible, smectite clay particles in the amount of 0.1 to 10 weight percent, thereby forming an overcoat layer having a thickness of between 0.25 and 25 μm.
