The recording liquid is very suitable for inkjet recording using plain paper as recording medium. The recording liquid shows high storage stability, excellent color reproducibility with hard blurring property of mutual colors at superposed area thereof, and high resistively for light fading, for the sake of buffering nature based by both ion-capturing and -releasing, and hydrophobic material-capturing and -releasing bestowed by above-mentioned calix compound.
