Method for producing thermal dye transfer images on magnetic substrates

摘要

A thermal dye transfer image is fixed to a magnetic substrate by creating an image on an intermediate dye-receiving element and adhering this to the magnetic substrate using a heat activated adhesive. A method for affixing a thermal dye transfer image to a magnetic substrate comprising: a) applying a heat-activated adhesive on a release paper to a magnetic substrate; b) peeling off the release paper; c) imagewise heating a dye-donor element in face-to-face contact with an intermediate dye-receiving element comprising a dye-receiving layer which is weakly bonded to a substrate, thereby creating an image on the dye-receiving element; d) laminating this imaged intermediate dye-receiving element onto the adhesive layer on the magnetic substrate; e) applying heat and/or pressure to the assembly to activate the adhesive; and f) peeling off the weakly bonded support for the imaged intermediate dye-receiving element. A thermal dye transfer image is thus formed on the magnetic substrate.
