A thermal dye transfer assemblage comprising: (a) a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the dye being substituted with a reactive primary or secondary aliphatic amino group, and (b) a dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer, the dye-receiving element being in a superposed relationship with the dye-donor element so that the dye layer is in contact with the dye image-receiving layer, the dye image-receiving layer comprising a polymer containing a plurality of functional groups: R.sup.2 --CO--X--R.sup.3 wherein: R.sup.2 represents alkyl, aryl, alkoxy or aryloxy; X represents oxygen or sulfur; and R.sup.3 represents aryl or hetaryl; with the proviso that R.sup.2 or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are directly attached to the polymer chain.
A thermal dye transfer assemblage comprising:
A process of forming a dye transfer image comprising imagewise-heating a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, said dye being substituted with a reactive primary or secondary aliphatic amino group, and imagewise transferring said dye 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, said dye image-receiving layer comprising a polymer containing a plurality of functional groups:
