Abstract
A recording medium includes a porous ink-receiving layer whose main components are an alumina hydrate having a boehmite structure, and a binder. The ink-receiving layer contains voids which communicate with the surface of the ink-receiving layer through pores having radii smaller than the radii of the voids. An image forming method forms an image by providing the recording medium with ink droplets.
