Abstract
Abstract An ink jet recording medium having at least one ink receptive layer containing synthetic silica of fine particle form as a main pigment, having a recording surface dried by pressing said recording surface against a heated mirror surface, and having ink receptive layer having an absorption capacity of at least 10 g/m2 is disclosed. That is, the present invention provides an ink jet recording medium which has a gloss without requiring any post-treatment for imparting the gloss, has a high ink absorbability and gives a high color reproducibility and a high color density in printing with a water-base ink, particularly a recording medium for full color ink jet recording having a gloss.
