Abstract:
A media sheet, comprising:a substrate; a porous dye-receiving layer deposited on the substrate, said porous dye-receiving layer comprising a metal or semi-metal oxide bound by a polymeric binder; a porous ionic layer deposited on the porous dye-receiving layer, said porous ionic layer comprising polymeric particulates having ionically-charged surfaces; an ink-jet ink deposited on the porous ionic layer, said ink-jet ink comprising an ink vehicle and a dye, said dye having the same polarity as the ionically-charged surfaces, said ink vehicle being substantially free of components that would substantially react with the ionically-charged surfaces; and a fluid sealant composition deposited on the porous ionic layer forming an interpolymer complex, said fluid sealant comprising a substantially uncrosslinked water soluble or dispersible polymer having an opposite polarity than the ionically-charged surfaces.
