Abstract

The present invention provides an ink-jet recording sheet having a coloring agent accepting layer which contains a dispersion containing a cationic polymer with an average molecular weight of 60,000 or lower and having a sulfate ion concentration of 1.5% by mass or lower to the cationic polymer together with a water-soluble resin; an particle dispersion obtained by further granulating a pre-dispersion obtained by pre-dispersing a solution containing at least fine particles and a cationic polymer and the pre-dispersion and/or the particle dispersion is heated at room temperature for 5 hours or longer after pre-dispersion and/or after granulating; and a coating solution for coloring agent accepting layer obtained by adding a water-soluble resin to the particle dispersion.

Claims (8)

1. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet, wherein the coating solution is obtained by mixing a water-soluble resin with a particle dispersion, which is obtained by further granulating a pre-dispersion obtained by pre-dispersing a solution containing at least fine particles and a cationic polymer, and the pre-dispersion is left at room temperature for 5 hours or more after pre-dispersion and granulating.

2. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet, wherein the coating solution is obtained by mixing a water-soluble resin with the particle dispersion which is obtained by further granulating a pre-dispersion obtained by pre-dispersing a solution containing at least fine particles and a cationic polymer, and the pre-dispersion is heated at a temperature higher than room temperature after pre-dispersion and before granulating.

3. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the coating solution further contains a cross-linking agent capable of cross-linking the water-soluble resin.

4. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the coating solution further contains a cross-linking agent capable of cross-linking the water-soluble resin.

5. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the cross-linking agent is boric acid or a boron compound.

6. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the cross-linking agent is boric acid or a boron compound.

7. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic polymer is polydiallyldialkyl cationic polymer.

8. A coating solution for a coloring agent accepting layer of an ink-jet recording sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the cationic polymer is polydiallyldialkyl cationic polymer.
