Claims20
A dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon, in order, a subbing layer and a dye image-receiving layer containing a thermally-transferred dye image, wherein said subbing layer contains an iono-conductive material.
A process of forming a dye transfer image comprising:
- a) imagewise-heating a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a binder, and
- b) transferring a dye image to a dye-receiving element to form said dye transfer image,
- wherein said dye-receiving element comprises a support having thereon, in order, a subbing layer and a dye image-receiving layer, wherein said subbing layer contains an iono-conductive material.
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 binder, 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 a support having thereon, in order, a subbing layer and a dye image-receiving layer, wherein said subbing layer contains an iono-conductive material.
