A method of manufacturing an ink-receiving medium comprising the steps of
providing a support, treating the support with a salt of a multivalent
metal cation, and coating upon one or each side of the support at least
one porous ink-receiving top layer from an aqueous coating composition
consisting of non-cationic components, wherein the non-cationic
components comprise a binder and anionic particles of average particle
size less than 2.5 microns, wherein the ink-receiving top layer comprises
at least 50% of the total solids by weight, such that the water-soluble
salt of a multivalent metal cation is able to diffuse into the
ink-receiving top layer, the method further comprising drying the coating
and optionally calendering the coating. Also disclosed is inkjet media
made from such method and a method of printing using such inkjet media.
