Abstract

An inkable sheet, especially suitable for use with aqueous based inks, having an ink-absorbent later substrate which, on depositing an aqueous droplet thereon, exhibits an advancing contact angle not exceeding 100.degree. and has an ink absorption capacity not exceeding 35 grams of water per gram of the ink-absorbent layer. The contact angle of the sheet may be modified by the presence of a supercoat. This sheet has an excellent combination of characteristics even at high ink loadings, for example 300 dpi.
