Patent ID: 7695783

Claim:
A porous image-recording element comprising a support and an image-receiving layer, wherein said imaging receiving layer comprises anionic colloidal silica particles, hydrophilic polymeric binder, and fluorosurfactant, wherein said binder is present in an amount of between 2% and 15% by weight of said image-receiving layer, said image-recording element has a 60-degree gloss of greater than 25, and a dry time of less than 1 minute, wherein said anionic colloidal silica particles have a median diameter of between 80 and 200 nm, wherein at least 80% of said anionic colloidal silica particles have a diameter of within 35% smaller or larger than the median diameter of said anionic colloidal silica particles, wherein the counter ions for said anionic colloidal silica particles consist essentially of sodium, potassium, or ammonium ions, wherein said hydrophilic polymeric binder is poly(vinyl alcohol) having a percent hydrolysis of 77 to 90 and a viscosity for a 4% aqueous solution at 20° C. of 2.5 to 12 cps, wherein said fluorosurfactant is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of: wherein x<y<z and x, y, and z are between 0 and 25 and wherein the distribution of the perfluoroethylene units in the perfluorinated portion of the three surfactants is different; and wherein the surface pH of said image-receiving layer moistened with water is between 8 and 10.
