An inkjet recording element comprising a support having thereon in order,
from top to bottom, a fusible, porous ink-transporting layer comprising
fusible polymeric particles, which particles comprise a thermoplastic
polymer with reactive functional groups, the ink-transporting layer
further comprising a multifunctional compound having complementary
reactive functional groups capable of crosslinking the reactive
functional groups on the thermoplastic polymer. The ink-transporting
layer is over a fusible dye-trapping layer that preferably comprises a
mordant. Optionally, an ink-carrier-liquid receptive layer is present
between the dye-trapping layer and the support.
