CONDUCTIVE THERMAL IMAGING RECEIVING LAYER WITH RECEIVER OVERCOAT LAYER COMPRISING A SURFACTANT

摘要

This invention relates to a conductive thermal image receiver element that has an aqueous-based coatable dye-receiving layer (1, 1a, 1b) comprising a water-dispersible acrylic polymer, a water-dispersible polyester, a water-dispersible conductive polymeric material and a surfactant. This invention also relates to a method for making this thermal image receiver element as well as method for using it to provide a dye image by thermal transfer from a donor element.
