Abstract
A thermally-transferred metallizable dye comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer, wherein the dye image-receiving layer comprises an extruded polymer comprising a transition metal ion salt of a carboxylic acid.
Claims12
A process of forming a dye transfer image comprising imagewise-heating, by means of a thermal print head, a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a sublimable, metallizable dye precursor dispersed in a polymeric binder, and transferring a dye image to a dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer containing a metal ion to form said dye transfer image, wherein said dye image-receiving layer comprises an extruded polymer comprising a transition metal ion salt of a carboxylic acid.
A thermal dye transfer assemblage comprising:
- (a) a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a sublimable, metallizable dye precursor dispersed in a polymeric binder, and
- (b) a dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer containing a metal ion, 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 said dye image-receiving layer comprises an extruded polymer comprising a transition metal ion salt of a carboxylic acid.
