Abstract:
1. An inkjet recording element comprising a support having in order thereon: (a) a fusible, porous ink-transporting top layer, present in an amount from about 1 g/m wherein the thermoplastic polymer in the fusible polymeric particles in the ink-transporting top layer comprise monomeric units having reactive functionalities selected from the group consisting of oxazoline, acid, acid anhydride, acetoacetoxy, primary or secondary amine, hydroxyl, phenol, thiol and isocyanate functionalities, and wherein the multifunctional compound has complementary reactive functionalities selected from the group consisting of oxazoline, epoxy, acid, acid anhydride, acetoacetoxy, primary or secondary amine, hydroxyl, phenol, thiol and isocyanate functionalities, such that the thermoplastic polymer comprising the fusible polymeric particles are crosslinked by the reaction of the reactive functionalities with the complementary reactive functionalities, after printing on the inkjet recording element and subsequent fusing; (b) a fusible dye-trapping layer comprising fusible polymeric particles, a dye mordant, and an optional hydrophilic binder; and (c) optionally an ink-carrier-liquid receptive layer.
