Patent ID: 6861114

Claim:
An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon a fusible, porous, image-receiving layer comprising at least two types of hydrophobic polymer particles having different glass transition temperatures, the first type of hydrophobic polymer particles having a Tg higher than about 60° C. that is substantially monodisperse and the second type of hydrophobic polymer particles having a Tg lower than about 25° C., wherein said first type of hydronhobic polymer particles has an average particle size of from about 0.2 μm to about 2 μm, and has a particle size distribution such that the ratio of the particle size at the 90 th percentile of the particle size distribution curve to the particle size at the 10 th percentile of the particle size distribution curve is less than about 2 and wherein the weight ratio of the first type of hydrophobic polymer particles to the second type of hydrophobic polymer particles is from about 10:1 to about 2.5:1.
