摘要:
A thermal image receiver element dry image receiving layer has a Tg of at least 25° C. as the outermost layer. The dry image receiving layer has a dry thickness of at least 0.5 μm and up to and including 5 μm. It comprises a polymer binder matrix that consists essentially of: (1) a water-dispersible acrylic polymer comprising chemically reacted or chemically non-reacted hydroxyl, phospho, phosphonate, sulfo, sulfonate, carboxy, or carboxylate groups, and (2) a water-dispersible polyester that has a Tg of 30° C. or less. The water-dispersible acrylic polymer is present in an amount of at least 55 weight % of the total dry image receiving layer weight and at a dry ratio to the water-dispersible polyester of at least 1:1 to and including 20:1. The thermal image receiver element can be used to prepare thermal dye images after thermal transfer from a thermal donor element.

A thermal, non-silver halide-containing image receiver element includes a support and an aqueous-coated image receiving layer. This receiving layer comprises a water-dispersible polymer having a polyurea or polyurethane backbone and up to 25 weight % of the water-dispersible polymer comprising polysiloxane side chains that are covalently attached to the backbone, each of the side chains having a molecular weight of at least 500. Aqueous dispersions of polyester ionomers and crosslinking agents can also be present.

A dye-donor element including a dye-donor layer is described, wherein the dye-donor element includes a stick preventative agent. The dye-donor element is capable of printing an image on a receiver element at a line speed of 2 ms/line or less while maintaining a print density of at least two, and a print to fail value of at least four. A print assembly including the dye-donor element and a receiver element is also described, as well as a method of printing using the dye-donor element.

A receiver element for thermal dye transfer, a print assembly including the receiver element, and a method of printing are described wherein the receiver element includes a dye image-receiving layer and a stick preventative agent of the formula: wherein R1 is an alkyl chain of C9H19 or greater; R2 is an alkyl chain of C3H6 or greater; A is NH—R3, NHNH2, NHCO—R3, NH—R4—NH2, or NHCO—R4—NH2; R3 is an alkyl chain of C2H5 or greater; R4 is an alkyl chain of C2H4 or greater; m is from about 0 to 95 weight percent; n is from about 0 to about 70 weight percent; p is from 0 to about 40 weight percent; and q is from 0 to 95 weight percent, with the proviso that when m is 0, then n is 0, and R3 is an alkyl chain of C8H17 or greater, otherwise when m is greater than 0, n is from 0.1 to 70 weight percent, based on the total weight of the stick preventative agent. The use of the stick preventative agent enables high-speed printing with reduced or no donor-receiver sticking.
