Claims19
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 an identification card stock comprising a polymeric core substrate having an oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) film laminated on at least one side thereof, said card stock also having an image-receiving layer located on the outermost surface of at least one side of said card stock.
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 said dye-receiving element comprises an identification card stock comprising a polymeric core substrate having an oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) film laminated on at least one side thereof, said card stock also having an image-receiving layer located on the outermost surface of at least one side of said card stock.
An identification card stock comprising a polymeric core substrate having an oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) film laminated on at least one side thereof, said card stock also having an image-receiving layer located on the outermost surface of at least one side of said card stock.
