Abstract:
An ink-jet recording sheet comprising:a support and an ink-absorbable layer provided thereon, the ink-absorbable layer comprising a plurality of void layers containing first particles having a dispersion degree of no more than 2 and a hydrophilic binder, wherein at least one of the void layers, except for the uppermost void layer to the support, comprises second particles having a refractive index higher than that of the first particles, so that the ink-jet recording sheet has a specular gloss of at least 20 percent at 60 degrees of the surface of the ink-absorbable layer, and the ink-net recording sheet exhibits the specular gloss such that 60-degree specular gloss of an ink-recorded part is 3 percent not less than that of a nonink-recorded part, and wherein the first particles are silica having an average particle diameter of not more than 100 nm.
