Image-receptive sheets for plain paper copiers

A transparent image-recording sheet suitable for use in a plain paper copier, comprising a transparent backing having two major surface, said sheet having a machine direction and a transverse direction, at least one of said major surfaces having coated thereon, a water-based toner-receptive coating comprising:

• a) from about 65 to about 99.9 parts of an imaging copolymer formed from
• 1) from about 80 to about 99 parts of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of bicyclic alkyl (meth)acrylates, aliphatic alkyl (meth)acrylates having from about 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and aromatic (meth)acrylates, and
• 2) from about 1 to about 20 parts of a polar monomer having the formula ##STR6## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, identical, and differing alkyl groups having up to about 8 carbon atoms, preferably up to 2 carbon atoms, the N-group can also comprise a cationic salt thereof.
