Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium which comprises plurality of magnetic layers comprising at least first and second magnetic layers which are successively formed on a surface of a polyethylene terephthalate support, wherein said support contains inert inorganic particles having an average particle size of from 0.5 to 0.7 microns, a standard deviation of 0.1 microns or less and the surface of said support has a center line average roughness (Ra) of 16 nm or less and a density of protrusions (Ds) of 6000/mm 2 or more in the case of protrusions of 0.7 microns of more.
