Abstract:
An ink-jet recording sheet comprising a support, and provided thereon, an ink absorption layer containing, in admixture, solid fine particles, a hydrophilic binder having an average polymerization degree of 2,000 to 4,000, and oil drops in an amount of 5 to 50 weight % based on the solid fine particle weight, the content ratio by weight of the solid fine particles to the hydrophilic binder being 2 to 200, wherein the hydrophilic binder is polyvinyl alcohol or cation-modified polyvinyl alcohols, and the oil drops comprise a hydrophobic organic compound having a melting point of 40.degree. C. or less and a solubility in water at room temperature of 0.1 weight % or less or polymer particles having a glass transition temperature of 40.degree. C. or less, said polymer particles being obtained from a polymer latex selected from the group consisting of a styrene-butadiene copolymer latex, a polyacrylate latex, a polymethacrylate latex, a polyvinyl acetate latex, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer latex.
