Claims
- 1. An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon a porous image-receiving layer comprising particles and a poly(vinyl alcohol) binder, said particles comprising a fumed metallic oxide, and said binder having an average viscosity greater than about 25 cp at 4% solids in an aqueous solution at 20° C.
- 2. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said average viscosity is from about 25 to about 100 cp.
- 3. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said average viscosity is from about 27 to about 60 cp.
- 4. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said image-receiving layer also contains a crosslinker capable of crosslinking said binder.
- 5. The recording element of claim 4 wherein said crosslinker is an aldehyde, an acetal or a ketal.
- 6. The recording element of claim 4 wherein said crosslinker is 2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-dioxane.
- 7. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said support is polyethylene-coated paper.
- 8. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said image-receiving layer also contains a mordant.
- 9. The recording element of claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of said binder to said particles is from about 1:20 to about 1:5.
- 10. The recording element of claim 1 wherein said fumed metallic oxide particles are fumed alumina, fumed silica or cationic fumed silica.
