A recording medium comprises a base member mainly made of pulp fibers and an ink receiving layer formed thereon containing an inorganic pigment and a binder. The recording medium shows a pore radius distribution having a peak attributable to pores in the base member and a peak attributable to pores in the ink receiving layer. The peak attributable to pores in the ink receiving layer is located between 8 and 50 nm. The ink receiving layer is formed on the base member by applying a coating formulation containing at least an inorganic pigment and a resin emulsion to the base member at a coating rate between 1 and 10 g/m.sup.2 so that the inorganic pigment and the resin emulsion become weakly agglomerated. The recording medium can be suitably used with an ink-jet recording system.
