A receiver element for thermal dye transfer, a print assembly including the receiver element, and a method of printing are described wherein the receiver element includes a dye image-receiving layer and a stick preventative agent of the formula: wherein R1 is an alkyl chain of C9H19 or greater; R2 is an alkyl chain of C3H6 or greater; A is NH-R3, NHNH2, NHCO-R3, NH-R4-NH2, or NHCO-R4-NH2; R3 is an alkyl chain of C2H5 or greater; R4 is an alkyl chain of C2H4 or greater; m is from about 0 to 95 weight percent; n is from about 0 to about 70 weight percent; p is from 0 to about 40 weight percent; and q is from 0 to 95 weight percent, with the proviso that when m is 0, then n is 0, and R3 is an alkyl chain of C8H17 or greater, otherwise when m is greater than 0, n is from 0.1 to 70 weight percent, based on the total weight of the stick preventative agent. The use of the stick preventative agent enables high-speed printing with reduced or no donor-receiver sticking.
