RECEIVER MEDIUM FOR COLOUR TONER IMAGES

摘要

A receiver medium adapted to receive a colour toner image by an electrophotographic or electrostatic process comprises a toner acceptance layer that includes a polymer or mixture of polymers in which the molecular weight (MW) is less than about 7,000 and the glass transition temperature (Tg) is greater than about 50 DEG C, with MW and Tg being selected to satisfy equation (1) below: 0.0003 MW x e<0.04Tg><20. The invention finds particular application with transparent media suitable for use in an overhead projector, giving good print quality in use in terms of yellow haze values of less than 30 %. Opaque receiver media also demonstrate good print quality in terms of brightness of colour and gloss.
