A magnetic recording medium is disclosed comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon at least a lower non-magnetic layer comprising a binder having dispersed therein a non-magnetic powder and an upper magnetic layer comprising a binder having dispersed therein a ferromagnetic powder which has been coated on said lower non-magnetic layer while the lower non-magnetic layer is wet, wherein the upper magnetic layer has an average dry thickness (d) of not more than 1.0 mu m and an average thickness variation ( DELTA d) at the interface between the upper magnetic layer and lower non-magnetic layer is not more than d/2. The magnetic recording medium exhibits excellent electromagnetic characteristics, running properties, and durability. |
