Ink jet recording element and priting method |
(57) An ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon an image-receiving
layer, the ink jet recording element containing a metal(oxy)hydroxide complex, M
n+(O)
a(OH)
b(A
p-)
c•xH
2O, wherein M is at least one metal ion; n is 3 or 4; A is an organic or inorganic
ion; p is 1, 2 or 3; and x is equal to or greater than 0; with the proviso that when
n is 3, then a, b and c each comprise a rational number as follows: 0 ≤ a < 1.5; 0
< b < 3; and 0 ≤ pc < 3, so that the charge of the M
3+ metal ion is balanced; and when n is 4, then a, b and c each comprise a rational
number as follows: 0 ≤ a < 2; 0 < b < 4; and 0 ≤ pc < 4, so that the charge of the
M
4+ metal ion is balanced.
