A developer sheet useful in forming images having a high density comprising a support having front and back surfaces; and a developer layer coated from a solution on said front surface, said developer layer comprising a particulate reactive material being capable of reacting with a substantially colorless chromogenic material upon contact and generating an image, a binder material, and a viscosity increasing additive is provided. The developer sheet is particularly useful in photosensitive microencapsulated imaging systems for forming overhead transparencies.

Developer sheet for forming high density images

A receiver sheet for producing high density images, preferably in a photosensitive imaging system is disclosed. The receiver sheet is characterized by containing a particulate developer material which does not substantially compress upon the application of pressure. The resistance to pressure is accomplished by using a receiver sheet which has a discontinuous thickness or by incorporating a stilt material into the developer material. Also disclosed is an imaging system which has a discontinuous thickness donor sheet to prevent the developer material from substantially compressing upon the application of pressure.

Microroughened developer sheet for forming high density images

The present invention provides a developer sheet useful in forming reproductions having a controllable gloss finish and reduced photolytic yellowing. The developer sheet comprises a support having a layer of a finely divided, thermoplastic, phenolic developer material and an anti-yellowing agent on the surface thereof. The phenolic developer material is capable of reacting with a color former to produce a visible image and is capable of coalescing into a thin film which imparts gloss to the image upon the application of heat.

Developer compositions having reduced yellowing

A developer sheet having reduced tack useful in forming reproductions having a controllable gloss finish or in forming transparencies is provided. The developer sheet has a support with a layer on the surface of the support of a finely divided thermoplastic developer material and a non-reactive, non-scattering pigment. The developer material is capable of reacting with a color precursor to produce a visible image while the pigment reduces tack. Both the developer material and the pigment are capable of forming an essentially transparent film upon the application of heat and/or pressure.
