Abstract

L’invention concerne un procédé d’enregistrement à jet d’encre. Selon le procédé, l’enregistrement est réalisé sur un support d’enregistrement à jet d’encre qui comprend un élément de soutien et une couche de réception d’encre agencée sur l’élément de soutien et comprenant au moins des microparticules inorganiques, une résine soluble dans l’eau et un agent de réticulation.  Selon le procédé, l’enregistrement est réalisé à l’aide d’une encre qui comprend au moins un colorant, de l’eau et un constituant solvant organique soluble dans l’eau. Dans l’encre, le constituant solvant organique soluble dans l’eau contient un solvant organique soluble dans l’eau représentant 40 % en masse ou plus de la quantité totale du constituant solvant organique soluble dans l’eau. Le solvant organique soluble dans l’eau a une propriété telle que, lorsqu’il est appliqué sur la couche de réception d’encre à un taux de 6,6 g/m2, le rapport du volume total de pores présentant un diamètre médian de 40 à 100 nm sur le volume total de pores présentant un diamètre médian de 100 nm ou moins dans la couche de réception d’encre est de 11 % ou moins, les diamètres médians étant mesurés par porosimétrie par intrusion de mercure.
