Patent ID: 7955653

Claim:
A method of producing an inkjet-recording medium, comprising: preparing a dispersion from inorganic fine particles having a particle diameter of 20 nm or less and a zirconium compound by subjecting the inorganic fine particles and the zirconium compound to counter-collision, or by passing the inorganic fine particles and the zirconium compound through an orifice, using a high-pressure dispersing machine of which processing pressure is 50 MPa or more; preparing an ink-receiving layer-forming solution by adding a cationic modified self-emulsifying polymer, a polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification value of 92 to 98 mol %, and a crosslinking agent to the dispersion; and forming a coated layer by applying a coating solution prepared by in-line mixing of a water-soluble aluminum compound in the ink-receiving layer-forming solution, on a support.
