Abstract
Abstract A recording medium for ink-jet printing which comprises an ink-receiving layer provided on a poly(olefin)-coated paper substrate in which the ink-receiving layer comprises at least one hydrophilic resin. The recording medium is capable of recording clear, brilliant, glossy color images of high image density comparable in look and feel to conventional photographic prints.
