A laser-induced thermal imaging system having a donor element and a receptor element. The donor element includes a substrate on which is coated transfer material that includes: a binder including a hydroxylic resin; a fluorocarbon additive; a cationic infrared absorbing dye; a dihydropyridine latent crosslinking agent; and a dispersible material. The receptor element comprises a texturized surface.

Laser induced film transfer system

An infrared laser addressable imaging element comprising a substrate bearing a first layer comprising a reducible light-insensitive silver salt and a binder; and a second layer comprising an infrared absorber, a reducing agent for said silver salt and a binder; wherein said binder of said first layer is a polymeric medium having a glass transition temperature of at least 80.degree. C.
