Abstract
A method and composition for wax thermal mass transfer printing. A polymeric acceptor sheet for wax thermal mass transfer printing includes an image receptor layer which provides improved wax receptivity. The combination in the receptor layer of a poly(alkylvinylether) and another polymer having a higher glass transition temperature results in improved image quality by providing both good half tone images and fine line reproduction.
