Thermal dye transfer receiving element

摘要

A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on one side thereof a dye image-receiving layer comprising a water-dispersible polyester having the following structure: <CHEM> wherein: A is the residue of one or more diol components which together comprise 100 mole % of recurring units and is represented by the following structure: -O-(CHR<2>CHR<3>O)m-R<1>-(OCHR<2>CHR<3>)n-O- B is the residue of a diacid component which comprises 8 to 50 mole % of recurring units and is represented by one or more of the following structures: <CHEM> <CHEM> wherein M<+> represents either the sodium salt or the sulfonic acid or the protonated form of a basic, nitrogen containing moiety having a pKa measured in water of from 6 to 10; and D is the residue of a diacid component which comprises 50 to 92 mole % of recurring units and is represented by one or more of the following structures: <CHEM> or <CHEM> where p represents an integer from 2 to 10; the dye image-receiving layer also containing a carnauba wax emulsion or dispersion in a wax:polyester ratio of 1:200 to 2:3.
