A thermal transfer media for use in printer. The thermal transfer media includes a pre-cut or preformed patch of protective film that is overlaid by a dye receptor coating. The thermal transfer media can be thermally applied to a backing media, such as a standard CR-80 card, and separated without a subsequent cutting step due to the pre-cutting of the protective film patch. Also, the dye receptor coating and pre-cut patch may share a common material composition allowing application and curing of a single layer. As another variation, the thermal print media may include adjacent pre-cut patches to allow simultaneous printing on the front and back of the backing media. |
