The present disclosure provides recording media and related methods. A recording media for printing can comprise a base paper and a backside extruded polyethylene layer on a side of the base paper. The backside extruded polyethylene layer can include a filler and an organic reagent admixed in the extruded polyethylene layer, wherein the filler and organic reagent are present in the backside extruded polyethylene layer in an amount of 20% by weight to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the backside extruded polyethylene layer.

A recording medium includes a substrate and an ink-receiving layer as the top layer. The ink-receiving layer contains inorganic particles. The inorganic particles contain cationized colloidal silica, alumina hydrate, and fumed alumina. A content of the cationized colloidal silica is 5% or more by mass and 25% or less by mass based on a content of the inorganic particles. The mass ratio of the alumina hydrate to the fumed alumina (alumina hydrate content:fumed alumina content) is from 95:5 to 55:45.

A recording medium includes a substrate, and a first and a second ink receiving layer over the substrate in this order from the side close to the substrate. The first ink receiving layer contains fumed silica, alumina, and zirconium compound. In the first ink receiving layer, the mass ratio of the fumed silica to the alumina is in the range of 40:60 to 60:40. The zirconium compound content in the first ink receiving layer is in the range of 0.1% by mass to 3.0% by mass relative to the total mass of the first ink receiving layer. The second ink receiving layer contains inorganic particles including at least one of fumed silica and alumina. In the second ink receiving layer, the fumed silica or the alumina accounts for 80% by mass or more of the inorganic particles in the second ink receiving layer.

A fabric printable medium, with an image-side and a back-side, including a fabric base substrate; a primary layer containing polymeric binders applied on, at least, one side of the base substrate; and an image-receiving coating layer applied over, at least, one primary layer including a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network. The primary layer includes a flame-retardant dispersion including flame-retardant agents and polymeric dispersants. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric printable medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.

An image transfer article can include an image-imparting member and a removable substrate disposed adjacent to the image-imparting member. The image-imparting member can have a softening point temperature less than about 220° C. The image-imparting member can include at least one surface configured to receive and carry indicia to be transferred and at least one portion comprising a pigment providing an opaque background for received indicia. In some examples, the image-imparting member can comprise a first polymer including the indicia and at least a second polymer including the pigment. In some examples, the image-imparting member can comprise a polymer including the indicia and the pigment. The indicia and the opaque background can be arranged to concurrently transfer to a woven- or fabric-based article or paper in contact with the image-imparting member, upon application of iron pressing temperatures.

Provided is an inkjet recording sheet which includes a transparent support and an ink receiving layer disposed on one surface of the transparent support, in which the ink receiving layer is a layer formed by curing a composition containing at least a polymerization initiator and a polymerizable compound. When a printed article and ornamental glass are manufactured by forming an image portion by an inkjet method, the inkjet recording sheet is excellent in both the ink adhesiveness and the scratch resistance of the ink receiving layer including the image portion and a non-image portion. Also provided is a method for manufacturing an inkjet recording sheet, a printed article, a method for manufacturing a printed article, and ornamental glass.

The present invention relates to a coated printing paper for an industrial inkjet printing press having a base paper, and at least two layers of coating layers arranged on at least one surface of the base paper; a first coating layer that is located at a farthest position from the base paper among the at least two layers of coating layers containing a pigment and a binder as main components, a peak existing in the range of 0.010 μm to 0.030 μm in a pore size distribution curve thereof, at least one type of the pigment thereof being ground calcium carbonate, and the content thereof being 60 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass total of all pigment(s) contained in the first coating layer; and a second coating layer that is in contact with the first coating layer among the at least two layers of coating layers containing a pigment and a binder as main components, and a peak existing in the range of 0.080 μm to 0.300 μm in a pore size distribution curve thereof.
