A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on one side thereof a dye image-receiving layer, wherein the dye image-receiving layer is overcoated with a layer consisting of a water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) polymer.
A process of forming a dye transfer image comprising imagewise-heating a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer and transferring a dye image to a dye-receiving element to form said dye transfer image, said dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer, wherein the dye image-receiving layer is overcoated with a layer consisting of a water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) polymer.
A thermal dye transfer assemblage comprising:
- (a) a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer, and
- (b) a dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer, said dye-receiving element being in a superposed relationship with said dye-donor element so that said dye layer is in contact with said dye image-receiving layer;
- wherein the dye image-receiving layer is overcoated with a layer consisting of a water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) polymer.
