Thermal dye transfer receiving element with aqueous dispersible polyester dye image-receiving layer

摘要

A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer includes a support having on one side thereof a dye image-receiving layer. Receiving elements of the invention are characterized in that the dye image-receiving layer comprises a water dispersible polyester comprising recurring dibasic acid derived units and diol derived units, at least 50 mole % of the dibasic acid derived units comprising dicarboxylic acid derived units containing an alicyclic ring within two carbon atoms of each carboxyl group of the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, and at least 2.5 mole % of the dibasic acid derived units and diol derived units combined comprising ionic monomer derived units containing an ionic group.
