An ink jet recording medium, comprises a support; a first layer provided on the support; and a second layer provided on the first layer so as to come in contact with the first layer, the second layer being an ink absorbing layer. The Young's modulus of the first layer is smaller than the Young's modulus of the second layer.
The present invention is a decorative glass laminate comprising a rigid interlayer bearing a printed image that has been ink-jetted onto at least one of the interlayer surfaces, and a process for preparing same. The interlayer has a storage young's modulus of 50 1000 Mla at 0.3 Hz and 25 C, as determined according to ASTM D 5026-95a and a finite thickness of less than equal to about 0.38 mm.
