Title: Ink-jet recording sheet

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a material to be recorded supplied for ink-jet recording, using a liquid ink such as a water based ink (one using a dye or a pigment as the coloring material) and an oil based ink, a solid ink in a solid state at an ordinary temperature, supplied for printing after melting and liquefying, or the like. More specifically, it relates to an ink-jet recording sheet having an excellent ink receptivity, with a light resistance and an ozone resistance of a recorded image improved. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Recently, with the rapid development of the information technology (IT) industry, various information processing systems have been developed, and recording methods and apparatus suitable for the recording systems have been developed as well so as to be put into practical use. 
     Among these recording methods, the ink-jet recording method is used widely not only in the offices but also at home for the capability of recording on various kinds of recording materials, relative inexpensiveness of the hardware (apparatus), compactness, the excellent quietness, or the like. 
     Moreover, with the recent trend toward the high resolution in the ink-jet printer, the so-called photography-like high image quality recorded material can be obtained. Furthermore, according to the development of the hardware (apparatus), various kinds of recording sheets for ink-jet recording have been developed. 
     As the characteristics required for the above-mentioned recording sheets for ink-jet recording, in general, (1) quick drying property (large absorbing speed of the ink), (2) appropriate and even ink dot size (absence of blurring), (3) good granule property, (4) high dot roundness, (5) high color density, (6) high chroma (absence of darkness), (7) good water resistance, light resistance and ozone resistance in the printing part, (8) high whiteness in the recording sheet, (9) good recording sheet storage property (absence of yellowish coloring by the long term storage), (10) good size stability without deformation (sufficiently small curling), (11) good hardware running property, or the like can be presented. 
     Furthermore, as to the application of the photo glossy paper used for obtaining the so-called photography-like high image quality recorded material, in addition to the above-mentioned characteristics, the glossiness, the surface smoothness, the printing paper-like feeling similar to the silver salt photography, or the like are required as well. 
     For improvement of the above-mentioned various characteristics, recently, an ink-jet recording sheet having a porous structure in a color material accepting layer has been developed. Since the ink-jet recording sheet has the excellent ink receptivity (quick drying property) and a high glossiness. 
     For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) Nos. 10-119423 and 10-217601, or the like propose an ink-jet recording sheet comprising a color material accepting layer containing fine inorganic pigment particles and a water soluble resin, and a high void ratio provided on a substrate. 
     According to these recording sheets, in particular, an ink-jet recording sheet provided with a color material accepting layer using a silica as the inorganic pigment fine particles of a porous structure provides the excellent ink absorbing property, a high in acceptability capable of forming a high resolution image and a high glossiness according to the configuration. 
     However, a minute amount gas in the air, in particular, the ozone is the cause of fading with age of a recorded image. Since the above-mentioned recording material comprising a color material accepting layer with the porous structure has a large number of voids, the recorded image can easily be faded by the ozone gas in the air. Therefore, for a recording material having a color material accepting layer of the above-mentioned porous structure, the resistance to the ozone in the air (ozone resistance) is an extremely important characteristic. 
     In order to prevent the above-mentioned fading by the ozone, JP-A No. 2001-260519 proposes an ink-jet recording material containing a sulfinic acid compound, a thiosulfonic acid compound, and a thiosulfinic acid compound. Moreover, the EP 1,138,509 proposes an ink-jet recording material containing a thioether compound having a hydrophilic group. Although these are effective in terms of the ozone resistance, the effect does not last long, and thus a problem is involved in that a sufficient ozone resistance cannot be provided. 
     Moreover, JP-A No. 7-314882 discloses a recording sheet having a porous ink accepting layer containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a dithiocarbamate, a thiuram salt, ester thiocyanates, a thiocyanate, and a hindered amine compound. As specific examples of the above-mentioned hindered amine compound, those having a structure with all the hydrogen on the carbons at the second position and the sixth position of a piperidine substituted by a methyl group are presented. Although the recording sheet has a fading preventing effect for about 30 days in a room can be provided by containing at least one of the above-mentioned compounds a problem is involved in that a sufficiently long term ozone resistance cannot be provided.

Since the specific amine compound is contained, the ozone resistance of the ink-jet recording sheet can remarkably improved as well as the light resistance (in particular, that of the magenta color development) can be improved as well. Moreover, in order to provide both the ink absorbing property (quick drying property) and the glossiness, it is preferable that the above-mentioned color material accepting layer has a porous structure.

In particular, in the case the solid component content in the color material accepting layer of the fine particles is more than 60% by mass, more preferably 65% by mass, a further preferable porous structure can be formed so that an ink-jet recording sheet having a sufficient ink absorbing property can be obtained, and thus it is preferable. Here, the solid component content in the color material accepting layer of the fine particles denotes the content calculated based on the components other than water in the composition comprising the color material accepting layer. 
     As the above-mentioned fine particles of the invention, organic fine particles and inorganic fine particles can be used. In terms of the ink absorbing property and the image stability, it is preferable to contain inorganic fine particles. 
     As the above-mentioned organic fine particles, for example, polymer fine particles obtained by emulsion polymerization, micro-emulsion polymerization, soap free polymerization, seed polymerization, dispersion polymerization, condensation polymerization, or the like are preferable. Powders of for example, a polyethylene, a polypropylene, a polystyrene, a polyacrylate, a polyamide, a silicone resin, a phenol resin, a natural polymer, or the like, a latex or emulsion-like polymer fine particles, or the like can be presented. 
     As the above-mentioned inorganic fine particles, for example, silica fine particles, a colloidal silica, a titanium dioxide, a barium sulfate, a calcium silicate, a zeolite, a kaolinite, a halloysite, a mica, a talc, a calcium carbonate, a magnesium carbonate, a calcium sulfate, a quasi boehmite, a zinc oxide, a zinc hydroxide, an alumina, an aluminum silicate, a calcium silicate, a magnesium silicate, a zirconium oxide, a zirconium hydroxide, a cerium oxide, a lanthanum oxide, yttrium oxide, or the like can be presented. Among these examples, in terms of forming a preferable porous structure, silica fine particles, a colloidal silica, alumina fine particles, and a quasi boehmite are preferable. The fine particles may be used as primary particles or in a state with secondary particles formed. The average primary particle size of the fine particles is preferably 2 μm or less, more preferably 200 nm or less. 
     Furthermore, silica fine particles having 20 nm or less average primary particle size, alumina fine particles having 20 nm or less average primary particle size, or a quasi boehmite having a 2 to 15 nm average porous radius are more preferable, and silica fine particles are particularly preferable. 
     The silica fine particles can in general be classified into wet method particles and dry method (gas phase method) particles on the whole according to the production method. According to the above-mentioned wet method, a method of obtaining a silica hydrate by producing an active silica by the acid decomposition of a silicate, appropriate polymerization of the same, aggregation and precipitation is the mainstream. In contrast, according to the gas phase method, a method of high temperature gas phase hydrolysis of a silica halide (flame hydrolysis method), and a method of obtaining a silica anhydrate by heating, reduction and gasification of silica sand and coke by arc in an electric furnace, and acidify the same by the air (arc method) are the mainstream. The “gas phase method silica” denotes silica anhydrate fine particles obtained by the gas phase method. As the silica fine particles used in the invention, the gas phase method silica fine particles are particularly preferable. 
     Since the above-mentioned gas phase method silica is different from the silica hydrate in terms of the concentration of the surface silanol group, existence or absence of holes, or the like, each of them has different natures, however, it is suitable for forming a three-dimensional structure with a high void ratio. Although the reason is not apparent, in the case of a silica hydrate, the silanol group concentration on the fine particle surface is as large as 5 to 8 pieces/nm 2  so that the silica fine particles can easily be aggregated densely. In contrast, in the case of a gas phase method silica, since the silanol group concentration on the fine particle surface is as small as 2 to 3 pieces/nm 2 , it provides non-dense flocculation. It is presumed that a structure with a high void ratio is provided as a result. 
     It is characteristic of the above-mentioned gas phase method silica that high ink absorbing property and keeping efficiency can be provided owing to its particularly large specific surface area, and transparency can be provided to the coloring material accepting layer by dispersion to an appropriate particle size owing to its low refractive index so that a high color density and a good color developing property can be obtained. Transparency of the color material accepting layer is important from the viewpoint of obtainment of a high color density and a good color developing property not only in the application requiring the transparency such as the OHP, but also in the case of use for a recording sheet such as a photo glossy paper. 
     The average primary particle size of the above-mentioned gas phase method silica is preferably 30 nm or less, more preferably 20 nm, particularly preferably 10 nm or less, and most preferably 3 to 10 nm. Since the particles can easily be adhered with each other by the hydrogen bond by the silanol group in the above-mentioned gas phase method silica, a structure with a high void ratio can be provided in the case of a 30 nm or less average primary particle size. Thereby, the ink absorbing characteristic can be improved effectively. 
     Moreover, the silica fine particles may be used in combination with the above-mentioned other fine particles. In the case the other fine particles and the above-mentioned gas phase method silica are used in a combination, the content of the gas phase method silica in the total fine particles is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more. 
     As the inorganic fine particles of the invention, an alumina, an alumina hydrate, and a mixture or a composite substance thereof are also preferable. Among these examples, an alumina hydrate is more preferable for its ability of preferably absorbing and fixing an ink. In particular, a quasi boehmite (Al 2 O 3 .nH 2 O) is preferable. As the alumina hydrate, those of various forms can be used, but it is preferable to use a sol-like boehmite as the material since a smooth layer can be obtained easily. 
     As the pore characteristic of the quasi boehmite, the average pore radius is preferably 1 to 30 nm, more preferably 2 to 15 nm. Moreover, the pore volume thereof is preferably 0.3 to 2.0 cc/g, more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 cc/g. Here, the above-mentioned measurement of the porous radius and the porous volume can be carried out by the nitrogen adsorption and desorption method, using for example a gas adsorption and desorption analyzer (such as the product name. “Omni Soap 369” produced by Coalter Corp.). 
     Moreover, among the alumina, gas phase alumina fine particles are preferable for their large specific surface area. The average primary particle size of the gas phase alumina is preferably 30 nm or less, further preferably 20 nm or less. 
     In the case the above-mentioned fine particles are used for an ink-jet recording sheet, they can also be used preferably in the embodiments disclosed for example in JP-A Nos. 10-81064, 10-119423, 10-157277, 10-217601, 11-348409, 2001-138621, 2000-43401, 2000-211235, 2000-309157, 2001-96897, 2001-138627, 11-91242, 8-2087, 8-2090, 8-2091, 8-2093, 8-174992, 11-192777, 2001-301314, or the like. 
     (Water Soluble Resin) 
     According to the ink-jet recording sheets according to the third and fourth aspects of the invention, the color material accepting layer contains a compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (III) or (IV), the above-mentioned fine particles and a water soluble resin later. Moreover, also in the ink-jet recording sheets according to the first and second aspects of the invention, it is preferable that the color material accepting layer contains fine particles and a water soluble resin together with a compound represented by the above-mentioned general formula (I) or (II). 
     As the above-mentioned water soluble resin, for example, a resin having a hydroxy group as a hydrophilic structure unit, such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), an acetoacetyl modified polyvinyl alcohol, a cation modified polyvinyl alcohol, an anion modified polyvinyl alcohol, a silanol modified polyvinyl alcohol, a polyvinyl acetal, a cellulose based resin [such as a methyl cellulose (MC), an ethyl cellulose (EC), a hydroxy ethyl cellulose (HEC), a carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), and a hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC)], chitins, chitosans, and a starch; a resin having an ether bond, such as a polyethylene oxide (PEO), a polypropylene oxide (PPO), a polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a polyvinyl ether (PVE); a resin having an amide group or a amide bond, such as a polyacrylic amide (PAAM), a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and a hydrazide polyacrylate, or the like can be presented. 
     Moreover, one having a carboxyl group as a dissociating group, such as a polyacrylic acid salt, a maleic acid resin, an alginic acid salt, and gelatins can be presented as well. 
     Among the above-mentioned examples, a polyvinyl alcohol and a derivative thereof are preferable. As the examples of the polyvinyl alcohol, those disclosed in the Japanese Patent Application Publication (JP-B) Nos. 4-52786, 5-67432, and 7-29479, U.S. Pat. No. 2,537,827, the JP-B No. 7-57553, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,502,998, and 3,053,231, the JP-A No. 63-176173, U.S. Pat. No. 2,604,367, JP-A Nos. 7-276787, 9-207425, 11-58941, 2000-135858, 2001-205924, 2001-287444, 62-278080, and 9-39373, U.S. Pat. No. 27,550,433, JP-A Nos. 2000-258801, 2001-213045, 2001-328345, 8-324105, 11-348417, or the like can be used as well. 
     The content of the water soluble resin of the invention is preferably 9 to 40% by mass with respect to the total solid component mass of the color material accepting layer, more preferably 12 to 33% by mass. 
     The above-mentioned fine particles and the above-mentioned water soluble resin mainly comprising the color material accepting layer each may be provided as a single material or as a mixture of a plurality of materials. 
     Furthermore, from the viewpoint of maintenance of the transparency, the kind of the water soluble resin used in a combination with the fine particles, in particular silica fine particles is important. In the case the above-mentioned gas phase method silica is used, as the water soluble resin, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is preferable, in particular, a PVA having a 70 to 100% saponification degree is more preferable, and a PVA having a 80 to 99.5% saponification degree is particularly preferable. 
     The above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has a hydroxyl group in the structure unit thereof. The hydroxyl group and the silanol group on the surface of the silica fine particles form a hydrogen bond so as to facilitate formation of a three-dimensional mesh structure with the secondary particles of the silica fine particles as the chain unit. It is considered that according to the formation of the three-dimensional mesh structure, a color material accepting layer having a porous structure and sufficient strength with a high void ratio can be formed. 
     In ink-jet recording, a porous color material accepting layer obtained as mentioned above absorbs an ink rapidly by the capillary tube phenomenon so as to form dots with a good roundness without ink blurring. 
     Moreover, it can be used in a combination with other water soluble resins such as a resin having a hydroxy group as a hydrophilic structure unit, such as a polyvinyl acetal, a cellulose based resin [such as a methyl cellulose (MC), an ethyl cellulose (EC), a hydroxy ethyl cellulose (HEC), a carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), and a hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC)], chitins, chitosans, and a starch; a resin having an ether bond, such as a polyethylene oxide (PEO), a polypropylene oxide (PPO), a polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a polyvinyl ether (PVE); a resin having an amide group or a amide bond, such as a polyacrylic amide (PAAM), a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and a hydrazide polyacrylate, and one having a carboxyl group as a dissociating group, such as a polyacrylic acid salt, a maleic acid resin, an alginic acid salt, and gelatins. In the case the other water soluble resin and the above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol are used in a combination, the content of the polyvinyl alcohol in the total water soluble resin is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more. 
     &lt;Content Ratio of the Fine Particles and the Water Soluble Resin&gt; 
     The mass content ratio of the fine particles (x) and the water soluble resin (y) [PB ratio (x/y)] provides a significant influence to the film structure and the film strength of the color material accepting layer. That is, with a large mass content ratio [PB ratio], the void ratio, the pore volume, and the surface area (per unit mass) are made larger, however, the density and the strength tend to be lowered. 
     The above-mentioned mass content ratio [PB ratio (x/y))] of the color material accepting layer of the invention is preferably 1.5:1 to 10:1 from the viewpoint of prevention of deterioration of the film strength and cracking generated at the time of drying due to too large a PB ratio, and easy generation of choking of the gaps by the resin and deterioration of the ink absorbing property derived from reduction of the void ratio due to too small a PB ratio. 
     In the case of passing through a conveyance system of an ink-jet printer, since a stress may be applied to a recording sheet, the color material accepting layer should have sufficient film strength. Moreover, in the case of applying a cutting process into a sheet-like form, the color material accepting layer should have sufficient film strength also in terms of prevention of cracking, peel off, or the like of the color material accepting layer. In consideration of these cases, the above-mentioned mass content ratio (x/y) is more preferably 5:1 or less. In contrast, from the viewpoint of ensuring the high speed ink absorbing property in the ink-jet printer, it is more preferably 2:1 or more. 
     For example, in the case a coating solution obtained by dispersing gas phase method silica fine particles having a 20 nm or less average primary particle size and a water soluble resin in an aqueous solution by a 2:1 to 5:1 mass ratio (x/y) is coated on a substrate and dried, a three-dimensional mesh structure with secondary particles of the silica fine particles as the chain unit is formed so that a light transmittable porous film having a 30 nm or less average pore size, a 50% to 80% void ratio, a 0.5 ml/g or more pore ratio volume and a 100 m 2 /g or more specific surface area can easily be formed.

That is, at the time of adding the cross-linking agent to the above-mentioned coating solution in advance, simultaneously with coating of the coating solution, or before having the decreasing rate of drying in the coating layer, the solution containing the cross-linking agent (cross-linking agent solution; hereinafter it may be referred to as a “solution (B)”) permeates into the coating layer so as to be reacted quickly with the water soluble resin in the coating layer for gelling (hardening) the water soluble resin.

     It is preferable that a color material accepting layer of the ink-jet recording sheet of the invention is formed by for example by a method of coating a first coating solution (hereinafter, it may be referred to also as the “coating solution (A)”) containing at least the fine particles and the water soluble resin on the substrate surface, applying a second coating solution (hereinafter, it may be referred to also as the “coating solution (B)”) containing at least the mordanting agent (1) simultaneously with the coating operation, (2) during the drying operation for the coating layer formed by the coating operation and before showing the decreasing rate of drying in the coating layer, or (3) after drying the first coating solution so as to form the coating film, and cross-linking and hardening the coating layer with the second coating solution applied (wet on wet method). Here, it is preferable that at least one kind of the compounds represented by the general formulae (I) to (IV) is contained in at least one of the above-mentioned first coating solution or second coating solution. Moreover, it is also preferable that the above-mentioned cross-linking agent cross-linkable the above-mentioned water soluble resin is contained in at least one of the above-mentioned first coating solution or second coating solution. 
     It is preferable to provide the color material accepting layer cross-linked and hardened as mentioned above in terms of the ink absorbing property and cracking prevention for the film. 
     Moreover, a color material accepting layer for the ink-jet recording sheet of the invention can be obtained also by a method of simultaneously coating on the substrate a first coating solution (A solution) containing fine particles and a water soluble resin, and a second coating solution (B solution) containing a mordanting agent in a state with a barrier solution of a component not reactive with the cross-linking agent (however, the mordanting agent is contained in at least one of the solution containing the cross-linking agent, or the barrier solution) interposed therebetween, drying and hardening. 
     According to the above-mentioned method, since much of the mordanting agent exists in the vicinity of the surface of the color material accepting layer, the ink-jet color material can sufficiently be mordanted so as to improve the water resistance of the characters and images after printing, and thus it is preferable. A part of the mordanting agent may be contained in the above-mentioned coating solution (A). In this case, the mordanting agents for the first coating solution (A) and the coating solution (B) may be the same one. 
     In the invention, the coating solution for a color material accepting layer containing at least fine particles (such as the gas phase method silica) and a water soluble resin (such as a polyvinyl alcohol) can be prepared for example as mentioned below, 
     That is, it can be prepared by adding the gas phase method silica fine particles and the dispersing agent in water (for example, by 10 to 20% by mass of the silica fine particles in water), dispersing for 20 minutes (preferably 10 to 30 minutes) under a 10,000 rpm (preferably 5,000 to 20,000 rpm) high speed rotation condition using a high speed rotation wet type colloid mill (such as “KUREA MIX” produced by M Technique Co., Ltd.), adding a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solution (for example, with a PVA by about ⅓ mass of that of the above-mentioned gas phase method silica), further adding the compound in the case a compound of the general formula (I) to (IV) of the invention is contained in the coating solution for a color material accepting layer, and dispersing with the above-mentioned rotation condition. The obtained coating solution is a homogeneous sol, and by coating and drying the same on a substrate by the following coating method, a porous color material accepting layer having a three-dimensional mesh structure can be formed. 
     As the above-mentioned dispersion processing method, various kinds of conventionally known dispersing machines such as a high speed rotation dispersing machine, a medium agitating type dispersing machine (a ball mill, a sand mill, or the like), an ultrasonic dispersing machine, a colloid mill dispersing machine, and a high pressure dispersing machine can be used. In the invention, a colloid mill dispersing machine or a high pressure dispersing machine can be used preferably from the viewpoint that they can efficiently disperse formed lump-like fine particles. 
     Moreover, as the above-mentioned dispersing agent, a cationic polymer can be used. As the cationic polymer, the examples provided for the above-mentioned mordanting agent can be presented. 
     To the above-mentioned coating solution for a color material accepting layer, as needed, a surfactant, a pH adjusting agent, a charge preventing agent, or the like may further be added. 
     The coating operation of the above-mentioned coating solution for a color material accepting layer can be executed by a known coating method such as an extrusion die coater, an air doctor coater, a bread coater, a rod coater, a knife coater, squeeze coater, a reverse roll coater and a bar coater. 
     The coating solution (B) is applied on the coating layer simultaneously with or after the coating operation of the coating solution for a color material accepting layer. The coating solution (B) may also be applied before the coating layer after the coating operation shows the decreasing rate of drying. That is, it can be produced preferably by introducing the mordanting agent before the coating layer shows the decreasing rate of drying after the coating operation of the coating solution for a color material accepting layer. 
     Here, “before showing the decreasing rate of drying in the coating layer” mentioned above in general denotes a process of several minutes from immediately after application of the coating solution for a color material accepting layer. During the time, the “constant rate of drying” as the phenomenon of having the solvent (dispersion medium) content in the coated coating layer reduced proportionally with the time is observed. The time showing the “constant rate of drying” is disclosed in Chemical Engineering Handbook (p. 707 to 712, published by Maruzen Corp., Oct. 25, 1980). 
     As mentioned above, the coating layer is dried after coating the first coating solution until the decreasing rate of drying is observed. The drying operation is executed in general at 50 to 180° C. for 0.5 to 10 minutes (preferably 0.5 to 5 minutes). Although the drying time naturally depends on the coating amount, in general, the above-mentioned range is appropriate. 
     As an application method before the first coating layer shows the decreasing rate of drying, a (1) method of further coating the coating solution (B) on the coating layer, a (2) spray method by a spray, or the like, a (3) method of soaking the substrate with the coating layer formed in the coating solution (B), or the like can be presented. 
     As a coating method for coating the coating solution (B) in the above-mentioned method (1), for example, a known coating method such as a curtain flow coater, an extrusion die coater, an air doctor coater, a bread coater, a rod coater, a knife coater, a squeeze coater, a reverse roll coater, and a bar coater can be used. However, it is preferable to use a method without direct contact of the coater with the first coating layer already formed, such as an extrusion die coater, a curtain flow coater and a bar coater. 
     After application of the mordanting agent solution, in general, a heating operation is executed at 40 to 180° C. for 0.5 to 30 minutes for drying and hardening. In particular, it is preferable to heat at 40 to 150° C. for 1 to 20 minutes. 
     Moreover, in the case the above-mentioned mordanting agent solution is applied simultaneously with the coating operation of the coating solution for a color material accepting layer, the color material accepting layer can be formed by simultaneous coating (superimposed layer coating) of the coating solution for a color material accepting layer and a mordanting agent solution on the substrate such that the coating solution for a color material accepting layer is contacted with the substrate, drying and hardening. 
     The above-mentioned simultaneous coating operation (superimposed layer coating) can be executed by a coating method using for example, an extrusion die coater and a curtain flow coater. The formed coating layer is dried after the simultaneous coating operation. The drying operation in this case in general is executed by heating the coating layer at 40 to 150° C. for 0.5 lo 50 minutes, preferably by heating at 40 to 100° C. for 0.5 to 5 minutes. 
     In the case the above-mentioned simultaneous coating (superimposed layer coating) is executed by for example, an extrusion die coater, the two kinds of the coating solutions ejected simultaneously are superimposed and formed in the vicinity of the ejection opening of the extrusion die coater, that is, before moving onto the substrate so as to be superimposed and coated onto the substrate in that state. Since the two layer coating solutions superimposed before coating can easily generate the cross-linking reaction already at the interface of the two solutions at the time of moving onto the substrate, the two solutions to be ejected are mixed in the vicinity of the ejection opening of the extrusion die coater so as to easily cause thickening, and thus there is a risk of causing troubles in the coating operation. Therefore, in the case of the simultaneous coating as mentioned above, it is preferable to dispose the barrier layer solution (intermediate layer solution) between the above-mentioned two solutions together with the coating solution for a color material accepting layer and the mordanting agent solution so as to execute the simultaneous three layer coating. 
     The above-mentioned barrier layer solution can be selected without any particular limit. For example, an aqueous solution containing a slight amount of a water soluble resin, water, or the like can be presented. The above-mentioned water soluble resin is to be used in consideration of the coating property as a thickening agent, or the like. For example, polymers such as a hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, a methyl cellulose, a hydroxy ethyl methyl cellulose, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and a gelatin can be presented. In the barrier layer solution, the above-mentioned mordanting agent can be included. 
     Moreover, the color material accepting layer of the invention may be formed by a method of coating on the substrate surface a coating solution (C) obtained by adding a solution containing at least the above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol (first solution) in an aqueous dispersion containing the above-mentioned gas phase method silica and dispersing agent so as to be re-dispersed, and applying on the above-mentioned coating layer a solution (D) containing at least the above-mentioned mordanting agent simultaneously with the coating operation, or during the drying operation of the coating layer formed by the coating operation and before the coating layer shows the decreasing rate of drying. At the time, the compounds of the general formulae (I) to (IV) of the invention may be added either of the above-mentioned coating solution (C) or the above-mentioned coating solution (D), or in both of them. According to the method, the glossiness degree and the printing density are improved, and thus it is preferable. It is also preferable that the cross-linking agent cross-linkable the water soluble resin is contained at least in either of the above-mentioned coating solutions (C) and (D). 
     As the above-mentioned dispersing agent, a cationic polymer can be used. As the cationic polymer, a single polymer of a monomer having a primary to tertiary amino group and a salt thereof, or a quaternary ammonium base, or a copolymer or a condensation polymer of the monomer and another monomer can be used preferably. Moreover, it is preferable to use these dispersing agents in a form of a water soluble polymer. Furthermore, it is also preferable to use a silane coupling agent as the dispersing agent. 
     The molecular weight of the above-mentioned dispersing agent is preferably 1,000 to 200,000 in the weight average molecular weight, more preferably 3,000 to 60,000. The addition amount of the above-mentioned dispersing agent with respect to the gas phase method silica is preferably 0.1% to 30%, more preferably 1% to 10%. 
     Moreover, for the preparation of the above-mentioned water dispersing agent containing the gas phase method silica and the dispersing agent, it is possible to prepare an aqueous dispersion in advance and add the aqueous dispersion to a dispersion aqueous solution, add a dispersion aqueous solution to a gas phase method silica aqueous dispersion, or mix simultaneously. Furthermore, with a powdery gas phase method silica used instead of the gas phase method silica aqueous dispersion, it can be added to the dispersion aqueous solution as mentioned above. 
     By fining the solution mixture using a dispersing machine after mixing the above-mentioned gas phase method silica and dispersing agent, an aqueous dispersion having a 50 to 300 nm average particle size can be obtained. As a dispersing machine used for obtaining the aqueous dispersion, various kinds of conventionally known dispersing machines such as a high speed rotation dispersing machine, a medium agitating type dispersing machine (a ball mill, a sand mill, or the like), an ultrasonic dispersing machine, a colloid mill dispersing machine, and a high pressure dispersing machine can be used. A colloid mill dispersing machine or a high pressure dispersing machine is preferable from the viewpoint that they can efficiently disperse formed lump-like fine particles. 
     Moreover, water, an organic solvent, or a solvent mixture thereof can be used as the solvent in each step. As an organic solvent used for the coating operation, alcohols such as a methanol, an ethanol, an n-propanol, an i-propanol, and a methoxy propanol, ketones such as an acetone, and a methyl ethyl ketone, a tetrahydro furan, an acetonitrile, an ethyl acetate, a toluene, or the like can be presented. 
     After the formation of the color material accepting layer on the substrate, the surface smoothness, the glossiness degree, the transparency and the coating film strength of the color material accepting layer can be improved by applying a calendar process by for example, using a super calendar, a gloss calendar, or the like and passing through between a roll nip under heating and pressuring. However, since the calendar process may provide a factor of deteriorating the void ratio (that is, the ink absorbing property may be lowered), it should be executed with a condition with a little void ratio deterioration set. 
     The roll temperature in the case of executing the calendar process is preferably 30 to 150° C., more preferably 40 to 100° C. Moreover, the linear load between the rolls at the time of the calendar process is preferably 50 to 400 kg/cm, more preferably 100 to 200 kg/cm. 
     Since the absorbing capacity capable of absorbing all the liquid droplets should be provided in the case of ink-jet recording, the layer thickness of the above-mentioned color material accepting layer should be determined in relation to the void ratio in the layer. For example, in the case of a 8 nL/mm 2  ink amount and a 60% void ratio, about a 15 μm or more layer thickness film is needed. 
     In consideration of this point, in the car of ink-jet recording, the layer thickness of the color material accepting layer is preferably 10 to 50 μm. 
     Moreover, the pore size of the color material accepting layer is preferably 0.005 to 0.030 μm by the median size, more preferably 0.01 to 0.025 μm. 
     The above-mentioned void ratio and pore median size can be measured with a mercury porosimeter (product name: “Bore Sizer 9320-PC2”, produced by Shimadzu Corporation). 
     Furthermore, it is preferable that the color material accepting layer has the excellent transparency. As the scale therefor, the haze value of the color material accepting layer formed on the transparent film substrate is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 20% or less. 
     The above-mentioned haze value can be measured with a haze meter (HGM-2DP: produced by Suga Test Instrument Co. Ltd.). 
     A polymer fine particle dispersion may be added to a layer comprising the ink-jet recording sheet of the invention (such as the color material accepting layer and the back layer). The polymer fine particle dispersion layer is used for improving the film physical properties such as the size stabilization, the curling prevention, the bonding prevention and the film cracking prevention. The polymer fine particle dispersion is disclosed in JP-A Nos. 62-245258, 62-1316648 and 62-110066. Moreover, cracking or curling of the layer can be prevented by adding a polymer fine particle dispersion having a low glass transition temperature (40° C. or lower) to the layer containing the above-mentioned mordanting agent. Furthermore, curling can be prevented also by adding a polymer fine particle dispersion having a high glass transition temperature to the back layer. 
     Moreover, the ink-jet recording sheet of the invention can be produced also by the methods disclosed in JP-A Nos. 10-81064, 10-119423, 10-157277, 10-217601, 11-348409, 2001-138621, 2000-43401, 2000-211235, 2000-309157, 2001-96897, 2001-138627, 11-91242, 8-2087, 8-2090, 8-2091 and 8-2093.

     (Production of the Substrate) 
     A 170 g/m 2  base paper was produced by beating a wood pulp comprising 100 parts of an LBKP to the 300 ml Canadian freeness by a double disc refiner, adding 0.5 part of an epoxylated amide behenate, 1.0 part of an anion polyacrylic amide, 0.1 part of a polyamide polyamine epichlorohydrin, and 0.5 part of a cation polyacrylic amide each by the absolute dry mass ratio with respect to the pulp, and weighing by a Fourdrinier paper machine. 
     In order to adjust the surface size of the above-mentioned base paper, a base paper with the density adjusted to 1.05 g/cc was obtained by impregnating the above-mentioned base paper in a 4% aqueous solution of a polyvinyl alcohol with 0.04% of a brightening agent (“Whitex BB” produced by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.) so as to become 0.5 g/m 2  based on the absolute dry mass, drying and further applying the calendar process. 
     A resin layer comprising a mat surface was formed (hereinafter the resin layer surface will be referred to as the “rear surface”) by applying a corona discharge process to the wire surface (rear surface) side of the obtained base paper, and coating a high density polyethylene by a 19 μm thickness using a molten extruder. After further applying a corona discharge process on the rear side resin layer, a dispersion produced by dispersing an aluminum oxide (Alumina sol 100, produced by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and a silicon dioxide (Snow Tex O, produced by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.) in water by a 1:2 mass ratio was coated as the charge preventing agent so as to have a 0.2 g/m 2  dry mass. 
     Furthermore, after applying a corona discharge process on the felt surface (front surface) side without the resin layer, a highly glossy thermoplastic resin layer was formed on the front surface side of the base paper (hereinafter, the highly glossy surface will be referred to as the “front surface”) so as to provide a substrate by extrusion of a low density polyethylene of a 3.8 MFR (melt flow rate) containing 10% of an anatase type titanium dioxide, a slight amount of an ultramarine, and 0.01% (with respect to the polyethylene) of a brightening agent by a 29 μm thickness using a molten extruder.

     After applying the corona discharge process on the front surface of the above-mentioned substrate, the coating solution A for a color material accepting layer obtained as mentioned above was coated on the front surface of the substrate by a 200 ml/m 2  coating amount using an extrusion die coater (coating step), and it was dried until the coating layer solid component density became 20% by a hot air drier at 80° C. (wind velocity 3 to 8 m/sec). The coating layer showed the constant rate of drying in the duration. Immediately thereafter, according to an operation of soaking in the mordanting agent solution B of the following composition for 30 seconds, it was adhered on the coating layer by 20 g/m 2  (step of applying the mordanting agent solution), and dried at 80° C. further for 10 minutes (drying step). Thereby, an ink-jet recording sheet (1) of the invention provided with a color material accepting layer by a 32 μm dry film thickness was provided.

     From the results in the above-mentioned table 1, it was learned that the ink-jet recording sheets (examples 1 to 36) containing the compounds represented by the general formula (I) to (IV) of the invention are recording sheets with the excellent ozone resistance having a high density residual ratio of the formed image even after the long time storage under a high ozone density environment. Moreover, the density residual ratio of the formed image was high after the cycle test of xenon irradiation and leaving in a high humidity so that it was learned that they are recording sheets with the excellent light stability, in particular, in the light stability of the magenta color development. 
     Moreover, it was learned that the ink-jet recording sheets of the invention (examples 27 to 29) using a hindered amine based compound in a combination are ink-jet recording sheets with the further superior ozone resistance and light stability. 
     Furthermore, according to the ink-jet recording sheets (examples 33 to 35) using a metal compound in a combination, the image time passage blurring was further improved. 
     Moreover, the ink-jet recording sheets of the invention provide the excellent glossiness degree, ink absorbing speed, image part density and water resistance. 
     In contrast, the comparative ink-jet recording sheets not using the compounds represented by the general formulae (I) to (IV) have a low image density residual ratio after the test and insufficient ozone resistance and light stability. 
     According to the invention, an ink-jet recording sheet having a good ink receptivity, firmness without generation of cracking, capable of restraining generation of time passage blurring so as to form a high resolution image, with the excellent ozone resistance and light stability.
