Abstract

A sufficiently flame-retardant fabric for ink-jet recording with an ink accepting layer on its one side at least, the ink acceptability (ink holding capability) of which is the same as that of its non-flame-retardant counterpart, allowing the fabric to render highly deep/brilliant shade and sharp color images. The flame-retardant fabric for ink-jet recording includes a flame retarded fiber substrate with an ink accepting layer on its one side at least, which is made up of a 3-12 &mgr;m-thick top sub-layer and a bottom sib-layer with a flame retarding agent contained only in the bottom sub-layer wherein the flame retarding agent has its active ingredient applied to the substrate in an aqueous dispersion, accounting for 4 to 30% of the entire ink accepting layer by weight.
