Cyan mixtures for dye transfer

A process for transferring dyes from a transfer to plastic-coated paper by diffusion or sublimation by means of an energy source, wherein said transfer is a transfer on which there is a dye mixture comprising at least one anthraquinone dye whose absorption maximum is at a wavelength of from 600 to 750 nm and also at least one dye selected from the group consisting of dyes of the formula I, II, IIII, IV and V ##STR50## where L.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl, which may be substituted and may be interrupted by from 1 to 4 oxygen atoms in ether function, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or hydroxyl,

• L.sup.2 is a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical,
• L.sup.3 is cyano, carbamoyl, carboxyl or C.sub.1 C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl,
• L.sup.4 is oxygen or a radical of the formula ##STR51## where Q.sub.1 is in each case C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, which may be interrupted by 1 or 2 oxygen atoms in ether function,
• L.sup.5 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 C.sub.4 -alkyl,
• L.sup.6 and L.sup.7 are identical or different and each is independently of the other hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkanoyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkoxycarbonyl, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkylsulfonyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkylsulfonyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenylsulfonyl, substituted or unsubstituted pyridylsulfonyl, substituted or unsubstituted benzoyl, pyridylcarbonyl or thienylcarbonyl, or together with the nitrogen atom joining them together are unsubstituted or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl-substituted succinimido, unsubstituted or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl-substituted phthalimido or a five- or six-membered saturated heterocyclic radical, which may contain further hetero atoms,
• Y is cyano or a radical of the formula CO--Q.sup.2, CO--OQ.sup.2, or CO--NHQ.sup.2, where Q.sup.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, which may be substituted and may be interrupted by 1 or 2 oxygen atoms in ether function, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl, phenyl or tolyl,
• L.sup.8 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, methyl or a radical of the formula --NH--CO--A.sup.1, --NH.dbd.CO--OA.sup.1, --NH--CO--NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, --NH--CS--OA.sup.1, --NH--CS--NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, --NH--CO--A.sup.3, --NH--SO.sub.2 --A.sup.1, --NH--SO.sub.2 --A.sup.3 or --NH--SO.sub.2 --NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, where
• A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 are identical or different and each is independently of the other C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, which may be substituted and may be interrupted by 1 or 2 oxygen atoms in ether function, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl, phenyl or tolyl, or else --NAA.sup.2 is amino, and
• A.sup.3 is a five- or six-membered aromatic heterocyclic radical, which may be benzofused and contain one or more hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur,
• L.sup.9 is hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, or L.sup.8 and L.sup.9 together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached are a five- or six-membered aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring,
• L.sup.10 is the above-mentioned radical A.sup.3 or a radical of the formula --CO--OA.sup.1, --CO--NH--A.sup.1, --CO--NH--CO--A.sup.1, --CO--NH--CO--A.sup.3, --CO--NH--SO.sub.2 --A.sup.3, --NH--CO--A.sup.1, --NH--CO--OA.sup.1, --NH--CO--NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, --NH--CS--OA.sup.1, --NH--CS--NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, --NH--CO--A.sup.3, --NH--SO.sub.2 --A.sup.1, --NH--SO.sub.2 --A.sup.3 or --NH--SO.sub.2 --NA.sup.1 A.sup.2, where A.sup.1, A.sup.2 and A.sup.3 are each as defined above,
