In this invention a composition is applied to the surface of paper comprising a glycol ether based polymer that provides enhanced ink-jet print quality. The advantage of using the composition is that it improves ink-jet printing on the paper without significant loss of water hold-out. More specifically, the paper is uncoated and has been treated on the surface with the following materials and dried to the point of usefulness. These materials are:n 1) one or more compounds that increase water hold-out. These are known as sizing agents, 2) starch, 3) A glycol ether based polymer. |
