Definitions
- the present invention relates to a recording medium for ink jet recording and an ink jet recording method using the same and more specifically an ink jet recording medium and an ink jet recording method which enable an image to be printed on both surface of the recording medium.
- Water-base inks are mainly used for ink jet recording method from the viewpoints of odor, safety, and recording properties.
- inks are used which comprise: various water-soluble dyes dissolved in water or a solvent mixture, of water with a water-soluble organic solvent such as a polyhydric alcohol; and optionally various additives.
- a color image having a quality comparable to a photograph should be formed on one surface of the recording material with a letter having good sharpness being formed on the other surface of the recording material (for example, surface for address).
- the recording material should have good water resistance for its both surfaces, should be free from deformation of the sheet by ink absorption, should have certain nerve, i.e., should be strong, and should have good carriability.
- a recent trend is such that an increase in resolution reduces the weight of an ink droplet per dot while the demand for a higher quality leads to increased amount of an ink printed on the recording medium.
- This trend poses a problem that when printing on both surfaces of a recording medium is performed under different conditions, for example, when the resolution of a print formed on one surface of the recording medium is different from that of a print formed on the other surface of the recording medium, there is fear of creating unfavorable phenomena such as curling, due to a difference in the amount of absorbed ink between the two surfaces, and print through.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium which enables a good print to be formed on both surfaces thereof.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium which, when printing on one surface thereof and printing on the other surface thereof are performed with different resolutions, causes neither curling nor print through.
