Definitions

  • This invention relates to a recording medium for a printer containing an interlayer compound for fixing and holding a water-soluble dye by an intercalation reaction which is based on the ion exchange action.
  • an ink jet recording system of emitting an aqueous ink containing a water-soluble dye onto a recording medium for a printer for forming an image from a recording nozzle having an electrical field, heat or the pressure as a driving source.
  • the dye used in general in this ink jet recording system is held on the dye fixing layer, after it is transferred to the dye fixing layer, by the force of interaction with constituent components of the dye fixing layer, such as the Van del Waals force or hydrogen linkage.
  • the solvent such as water
  • the dye tends to be dissolved from the dye fixing layer to the solvent thus causing image blurring.
  • the heat energy or the water vapor sufficient to counteract the Van del Waals force or the hydrogen linkage between the water-soluble dye making up the image and the constituent elements of the dye fixing layer is supplied to the recording medium for the printer, the water-soluble dye tends to be moved to cause the image blurring.
  • the water-soluble dye making up the image is exposed to light rays of a higher energy, such as ultraviolet light, the image tends to be faded or changed in color tone or or lowered in concentration due to decomposition of the dye itself.

  • the content of the organic acid is less than 5 wt%, the image is lowered in water-proofness and light-fastness. If the content of the organic acid exceeds 100 wt%, the proportion of the resin is correspondingly decreased, thus lowering adhesion and water-proofness to lead to lowered ink permeation and loss of luster as the recording medium thus detracting from the image quality.
