An ink-jet recording sheet containing a support having the following layers in
the order: (a) a porous layer; and (b) a surface porous layer containing an organic
particle A or an organic particle B, the organic particle A being insoluble in
water and soluble in or swollen in a water soluble organic solvent having a SP
value of 18.41 to 30.69 (MPa)1/2 and a boiling point of not less than
120 C.; the organic particle B comprising a copolymer having a specific recurring
unit in an amount of not less than 5 weight % based on the total weight of the
copolymer; the organic particle A and the organic particle B each having an average
particle size of not more than 100 nm and a glass transition temperature of not
less than 70 C., wherein the porous layer or the surface porous layer contains
a compound having a polyvalent metal element.
