Abstract
Ink-jet recording media and continuous in-line process for manufacturing such media are provided. The media can be printed with ink-jet printers to form images having good color density, brilliance, and resolution. The ink-jet recording media include a paper substrate coated on one surface with a radiation-curable composition and an ink-receptive composition. The back surface of the paper may be coated with a polymeric coating to reduce curl and improve dimensional stability. The media have a water vapor transmission rate of no greater than 12 grams/100 square inches/24 hours and preferably have a surface gloss of at least 70.
