Claim:
A recording medium, being substantially transparent, for recording an image through image-forming processes employing an ink-jetting method, comprising: a supporting base shaped in a sheet; and an ink-absorbing layer that is formed on at least one of both sides of said supporting base, and that absorbs ink particles so as to form said image; wherein a diffuse transmission density of a first area, being a part of said recording medium on which no image is formed, is in a range of 0.45-0.15, and a Q-factor of said first area is in a range of 1.50-1.00; and wherein said recording medium is so constituted that a Q-factor of a second area, being a part of said recording medium on which an image is formed so as to adjust a diffuse transmission density at 1.00, is in a range of 1.20-1.00.
