Abstract:
1. A recording medium comprising: a support; a first ink-receiving layer; and a second ink-receiving layer in that order, wherein the first ink-receiving layer includes an inorganic particle, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, a water-soluble polymer not having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and the second ink-receiving layer includes an inorganic particle, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and satisfies a condition (1) or (2) below: Condition (1): The second ink-receiving layer does not include the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group. Condition (2): The second ink-receiving layer includes the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, but the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particle in the second ink-receiving layer is smaller than the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particle in the first ink-receiving layer.
