摘要:
A process is described for reheating a dye image-receiving element containing a thermally-transferred dye image and stabilizer. Stratification of the transferred dye image in the receiving element is thereby reduced, resulting in an increase in stability to light of the transferred dyes.
摘要:
A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer process and assemblage comprises a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer and a stabilizer compound having the following moiety: wherein each R is independently an alkyl or substituted alkyl group of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or two adjacent R groups may be joined together to form methylene or ethylene; and x is as least 3. Dyes which are transferred to this receiving element have improved light stability.
摘要:
A stabilizer-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on one side thereof a stabilizer dispersed in a polymeric binder, and on the other side thereof a slipping layer comprising a lubricant. The polymeric binder may also have a dye dispersed therein. Examples of stabilizers include multialkoxy-substituted aromatic compounds and singlet oxygen quencher metal chelates such as nickel dithiocarbamates.
摘要:
A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprises a support having thereon a merocyanine dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the merocyanine dye being capable of transfer by diffusion to a dye-receiving element upon the application of heat and being incapable of substantial photolysis, the merocyanine dye being substituted or unsubstituted on the bridging methine carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment, the merocyanine dye has the formula: wherein: A represents -COR, -COOR, -CONHR, -CN -SO₂R or -SO₂NR₂; or A may be combined together with R¹ to form a heterocyclic or carbocyclic ring system; R¹ represents -NHR, -NR₂, -OR, -SR, or R; n represents 0 or 1; Z represents the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring; and each R independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms.

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprises a support having thereon a 3-(N-alkyl- or N-aryl-amino)-2-pyrazolin-5-one merocyanine dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the merocyanine dye being capable of transfer by diffusion to a dye-receiving element upon the application of heat and being incapable of substantial photolysis, the merocyanine dye being substituted or unsubstituted on the bridging methine carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment, the merocyanine dye has the formula: wherein: R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; R¹ and R² each independently represents hydrogen, with the proviso that only one of R¹ and R² may be hydrogen at the same time; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; or R¹ and R² may be combined together with the nitrogen to which they are attached to form a heterocyclic ring system; R³ is R; n represents 0 or 1; and Z represents the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring.
