Abstract
A dye transfer receptor sheet suitable, for thermal dye transfer imaging is described. The receptor sheet comprises a substrate having a receptor layer comprising a vinyl resin mixed or blended with a linear saturated thermoplastic polyester having aliphatic and aromatic groups.
Claims17
A thermal transfer system comprising a thermal transfer donor element in contact with a thermal transfer receptor element, said thermal dye transfer receptor element comprising a substrate having a receptor layer comprising a vinyl resin and a linear saturated thermoplastic polyester having both aliphatic and aromatic groups derived from diacid monomers, said receiving layer being in contact with said thermal transfer donor element.
A thermal dye transfer receptor dement comprising a substrate having on at least one surface thereof a receptor layer comprising a vinyl resin mixed with a linear saturated thermoplastic polyester adhesive having both aliphatic and aromatic groups derived from diacid monomers.
An image bearing sheet comprising a substrate having on at least one surface thereof a receptor layer comprising a vinyl resin mixed with a linear saturated thermoplastic polyester having both aliphatic and aromatic groups derived from diacid monomers and said receptor layer having an image thereon.
A thermal transfer imaging system comprising a thermal mass transfer receptor sheet in intimate contact with a thermal mass transfer donor sheet, said receptor sheet comprising a substrate having on at least one surface thereof in contact with said thermal mass transfer donor sheet a receptor layer comprising a vinyl chloride polymer or copolymer mixed with a linear, saturated thermoplastic polyester having both aliphatic and aromatic groups derived from diacid monomers.
An image bearing sheet comprising a substrate having on at least one surface thereof a receptor layer comprising a vinyl resin mixed with a linear, saturated thermoplastic polyester having both aliphatic and aromatic groups derived from diacid monomers.
