A recording medium is provided which causes none of bleeding or feathering, cracking and whitening of a print and is suitably usable especially for ink jet recording. The recording medium, when used in a system where an image is viewed by taking advantage of transmitted light, such as a system using an OHP sheet, can realize a good image having high light transmittance and high brightness. The recording medium comprises a substrate bearing an ink-absorbent layer, the ink-absorbent layer being formed of a polymer complex of a basic polymer and a styrene/(meth)acrylic acid polymer, the mixing ratio of the basic polymer and the styrene/(meth)acrylic acid polymer being in the range of from 10 : 3.5 to 7. |
