An ink-jet recording sheet is composed of a base material and at least one ink-receiving layer arranged on at least one side of the base material. The ink-receiving layer comprises a water-soluble resin and/or a water-dispersible resin as a binder, an inorganic pigment, thiourea or a specific derivative thereof, an acrylamide-diallylamine hydrochloride copolymer and/or a polyallylamine acetate, and a boron compound. The inorganic pigment, the thiourea or specific derivative thereof, the acrylamide-diallylamine hydrochloride copolymer and/or polyallylamine acetate and the boron compound satisfy the following equations (1) and (2): 4 (B + C + D) ≤ A ........ Equation (1), and (B/D):C = 0.1:5 to 15:0.1 ..... Equation (2)wherein A, B, C, and D represent weight proportions of the inorganic pigment, the thiourea or specific derivative thereof, the acrylamide-diallylamine hydrochloride copolymer and/or polyallylamine acetate and the boron compound, respectively. |
