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-receiving layer on a support, wherein the dye-receiving layer includes a polymer, an optional release agent, and alpha-tocopherol or a derivative thereof.

Thermal receiver

A polymer composition including a cyclic-olefinic copolymer and another polymer, an image-receiving element including the polymeric composition in an image-receiving layer, a print assembly including the image-receiving element, and a method of printing are described.

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.

Thermal donor for high-speed printing

Plasticized cross-linked receiving element for thermal dye transfer

A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer includes a support having on one side thereof a dye image receiving layer. Receiving elements of the invention are characterized in that the dye image-receiving layer primarily comprises a mixture of a crosslinked polymer network being formed by the reaction of a multifunctional isocyanate with: a) a polycarbonate polyol having at least two terminal hydroxy groups and an average molecular weight of about 1000 to about 10,000, and

Cross-linked receiving element for thermal dye transfer

A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on one side thereof, in order, a dye image-receiving layer and an overcoat layer thereon, the overcoat layer comprising:

Overcoat for thermal dye transfer receiving element

Dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a polyolefin-coated substrate or a polyolefin substrate having thereon, in order, a subbing layer and a dye image-receiving layer, and wherein the subbing layer comprises a reaction product of a mixture of
