An ink-jet recording sheet containing a support having thereon at least
two porous ink absorptive layers containing microparticles and a
hydrophilic resin, wherein an uppermost ink absorptive layer has a
smaller average void diameter than an ink absorptive layer adjacent to
the uppermost ink absorptive layer, and the hydrophilic resin in the
uppermost ink absorptive layer is cross-linked by irradiation with
ionization radiation.
