An ink jet recording element comprising an absorbent support, a porous base layer proximate to the support, a porous ink receiving intermediate layer on the base layer, and a porous ink receiving upper layer on the intermediate layer. The base layer and the intermediate layer are each present in an amount of at least 25 g / m 2 , and further to treat the high flow rate ink composition during printing and to provide high gloss after calendering, the base layer, the intermediate layer And the total dry weight coverage of the upper layer is 60 to 130 g / m 2 . An advantageous method of making such an ink jet recording element is also disclosed. |
