Claims
- 1. An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon a porous image-receiving layer comprising:
(a) particles having a primary particle size of from about 7 to about 40 nm in diameter which may be aggregated up to about 300 nm; and (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles comprising at least about 20 mole percent of a cationic mordant moiety.
- 2. The recording element of claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles to (a) particles is from about 1:2 to about 1:10.
- 3. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said porous image-receiving layer also contains a polymeric binder in an amount insufficient to significantly alter the porosity of said porous image-receiving layer.
- 4. The recording element of claim 3 wherein the weight ratio of said binder to the total amount of particles is from about 1:20 to about 1:5.
- 5. The recording element of claim 3 wherein said polymeric binder is a hydrophilic polymer.
- 6. The recording element of claim 5 wherein said hydrophilic polymer is poly(vinyl alcohol), hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, gelatin, or a poly(alkylene oxide).
- 7. The recording element of claim 3 wherein said polymeric binder is poly(vinyl alcohol).
- 8. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said (a) particles are metallic oxides.
- 9. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said (a) particles are porous.
- 10. The recording element of claim 8 wherein said particles are fumed.
- 11. The recording element of claim 10 wherein said particles are fumed alumina.
- 12. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles are in the form of a latex.
- 13. The recording element of claim 12 wherein said latex is a copolymer of (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride and divinylbenzene in a 87:13 molar ratio.
- 14. The recording element of claim 12 wherein said latex is a terpolymer of styrene, (vinylbenzyl)dimethylbenzylamine and divinylbenzene in a 49.5:49.5:1.0 molar ratio.
- 15. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles are in the form of a water dispersible polymer.
- 16. The recording element of claim 3 wherein said image-receiving layer also contains a crosslinker capable of crosslinking said binder.
- 17. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said support is polyethylene-coated paper.
- 18. The recording element of claim 1 which also includes a base layer located between said image-receiving layer and said support.
- 19. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles comprise at least about 50 mole percent of a cationic mordant moiety.
