Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films do not exhibit excessive ink drying times. These films exhibit high maximum optical densities and have low haze values. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films exhibit superior resistance to ink-transfer when printed to high optical densities, which is desirable for medical imaging applications.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films exhibit improved ink-drying and smudging performance. These films exhibit high maximum optical densities and have low haze values. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. These films can exhibit high maximum optical densities, rapid ink drying, low curl, excellent adhesion between the coating layers and the substrate, and negligible ink transfer between stacked ink-jet recording films after imaging. Such films are useful in medical imaging applications.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. These compositions and methods can impart excellent adhesion properties between film layers and the transparent support. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Addition of a surfactant to either the under-layer, the image-receiving layer, or to both the under-layer and the image-receiving layer provides a quick-drying, transparent ink-jet recording film capable of achieving an optical density of at least 2.8 while still having a low haze and producing a number of grey levels.

Transparent ink-jet recording film

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films do not exhibit excessive ink drying times. These films can be free of such visual effects as mud cracking. These films are useful for medical imaging.

The compositions and methods of the present application can provide transparent ink-jet recording films that may be used by printers relying on optical detection of fed media. Such films can be useful for medical image reproduction.

Mixtures of an alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer or an alkylethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer with cellulose acetate provide protective overcoats for thermally developable materials. These protective overcoats exhibit good adhesion to the emulsion layer, are physically hard, and have good optical clarity while maintaining the sensitometric properties of the materials.

Protective overcoats for thermally developable materials

Thermally developable materials including photothermographic and thermographic materials have a buried conductive backside layer comprising one or more binder polymers in which are dispersed each of at least two types of conductive materials: (1) nanoparticles of one or more conductive metal compounds, and (2) one or more organic solvent soluble inorganic alkali metal salt antistatic compounds. These buried conductive backside coatings provide conductivity that is affected minimally by humidity.
