Donor element for laser-induced thermal transfer

摘要

A donor element for use in a laser-induced thermal transfer process, said element comprising a support bearing on a first surface thereof, in the order listed: (a) at least one ejection layer comprising a first polymer having a decomposition temperature T1; (b) at least one heating layer; (c) at least one transfer layer comprising a binder and an imageable component, wherein the binder comprises a second polymer having a decomposition temperature T2; wherein T2 >/= (T1 + 100), and further wherein a thermal amplification additive is present in at least one of layers (a) and (c) is described.
