A recording medium comprising a transparent or opaque support having an ink receiving layer on at least one side of the support, wherein the ink receiving layer is at least one ink-absorbing polymer or resin. And 0.001 to 5.0% by weight based on the total weight of the ink receiving layer: n [V = O] +2 mX -a , where X is an acid anion, a is 1, 2 or 3, and n and m Satisfying the relationship 2n = am)), whereby an ink-receiving layer is formed thereon from an ink containing a triarylmethane dye, A recording medium that produces an image that exhibits reduced image fading and color distortion. |
