Abstract
This invention relates to an imaging element comprising a base polyester layer, an absorbent polyester layer above said base layer, and a glossy polymer layer above said absorbent layer; wherein said element has a 60° Gardner gloss greater than 30% wherein said glossy polymer layer has openings comprising between 5.0 and 10.0% of the surface area
Claims19
An imaging element comprising a base polyester layer, an absorbent polyester layer above said base layer, and a glossy polymer layer above said absorbent layer;
- wherein said element has a 60° Gardner gloss greater than 30%, wherein said glossy polymer layer has openings comprising between 5.0 and 10.0% of the surface area, and wherein said element has a dry time of less than 10 seconds.
The imaging element of clam 1 wherein the break elongation of said glossy polymer layer at the stretching temperature used during the stretching process to form said element is greater than the stretch ratio used to form said element.
An imaging element comprising a base polyester layer, an absorbent polyester layer above said base layer, and a glossy polymer layer above said absorbent layer;
- wherein said element has a 60° Gardner gloss greater than 30%, wherein said glossy polymer layer has openings comprising between 5.0 and 10.0% of the surface area, and wherein the glossy polymer layer is applied to the absorbent layer prior to stretching.
