Optical recording medium and method of producing the same

An optical recording medium 10 comprises a disc body 11, a white ink layer 12 provided on the label side 11b of the disc body 11, and an ink receiving layer 13 provided on the surface 12a of the white ink layer 12. The mean roughness (Ra) of the surface 12a of the white ink layer 12 is set not greater than 0.2 µm. A step radially extended is left on the surface 13a of the ink receiving layer 13 and set not greater than 1.0 µm. As the mean roughness (Ra) of the surface 12a of the white ink layer 12 is not greater than 0.2 µm or as the step on the ink receiving layer 13 is not greater than 1.0 µm, high printing quality can be secured when printing is done with an ink-jet printer.
