Optical recording media and method of forming a printable layer thereon

An optical recording media, comprising:

• a first ink-absorbing layer 105, formed on an outermost layer at an opposite side of a recording/reading surface of said optical recording media;
• a second ink-absorbing layer 104, formed on an inner side of said first ink-absorbing layer 105;
• and
• a bottom coating layer, formed on an inner side of said second ink-absorbing layer appositive to an optical data recording layer 102 of the optical recording media;
• wherein a surface of said first ink-absorbing layer 105 is printed with inks of colors of cyan, magenta, yellow, black to have an average specular gloss value at 20 degree angle greater than or equal to 30GU, an average specular gloss value at 60 degree angle greater than or equal to 70GU, and an average specular value at 85 degree angle greater than or equal to 88GU and a first ink-absorbing value of the second ink-absorbing layer 104 is different from a second ink-absorbing value of the first ink-absorbing layer 105.
