Abstract
A receptor sheet for thermal mass transfer imaging comprising a polymeric image-receptive layer comprising a polymer having a melt transition onset no higehr than the melting point of a compatible doner sheet wax, and having a melt viscosity at the melt temperature of said donor sheet wax of at least 1.times.10.sup.4 poise.
Claims15
A thermal mass transfer imaging system incorporating a receptor sheet comprising a backing having coated thereon a polymeric image-receptive layer comprising at least about 5% of an image-receptive polymer having a melt-transition onset no higher than the melting point of a compatible donor sheet wax, and having a melt viscosity at the melt temperature of said donor sheet wax, of at least 1.times.10.sup.4 poise.
