摘要:
A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprises a support, such as polyethylene-coated paper or poly(ethylene terephthalate), having thereon a subbing layer of a vinylidene chloride copolymer and a polymeric dye image-receiving layer, such as a polycarbonate.Use of the subbing layer of the invention improves the adhesion of the dye image-receiving layer to the support.

Color correction of negative images resulting from diffusion transfer photographic recording materials is obtained through use of two dye image-providing compounds, each of which is capable of releasing a diffusible dye. One of the dye image-providing compounds releases a diffusible dye as a result of silver halide development whereas the other compound releases dye in areas where no development occurs.

This invention relates to a dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising an image dye in a polymeric binder, and wherein the dye layer also contains a plasticizer comprising a chlorinated paraffin.
摘要:
A thermal printer has converging paths for dye-donor web and receiver medium. The paths abut before proceeding past the thermal head. A transport system moves the dye-donor web and the receiver medium (i) in a forward direction along their respective paths past a thermal head, whereat heat from the thermal head causes an area of the laminate material coating between leading and trailing edges to transfer from the dye-donor web to the receiver medium and (ii) in a reverse direction along their respective paths such that the area of the laminate material which is transferred to the receiver medium breaks cleanly at said trailing edge from a non-laminated area of the laminate material that remains on the aye-donor web as the web support separates from the receiver medium.

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon at least one dye layer area comprising an image dye in a binder and another area comprising a transferable protection layer, the transferable protection layer area being approximately equal in size to the dye layer area, wherein the transferable protection layer comprises poly(vinyl benzal) having a polymethylmethacrylate equivalent molecular weight of less than about 75,000 as measured by size exclusion chromatography or poly(vinyl acetal) having a polymethylmethacrylate equivalent molecular weight of less than about 65,000 as measured by size exclusion chromatography.
摘要:
A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon at least one dye layer area comprising an image dye in a binder and another area comprising a transferable protection layer, the transferable protection layer area being approximately equal in size to the dye layer area, wherein the transferable protection layer contains particles in an amount of up to about 75% of the thickness of said transferable protection layer.
摘要:
A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprises a support having thereon a dye image-receiving layer, such as a polycarbonate, coated with an overcoat layer comprising a condensation polymer comprising recurring units of a linear chain having at least four carbon atoms, such as a polyester or a polyurethane, the overcoat layer having a T.sub.g of at least 40.degree. C. less than the T.sub.g of the dye image-receiving layer.Use of the overcoat layer of the invention helps to destratify the dye and improves stability of the transferred dyes to light.
