Thermal dye transfer receiver slide element.

摘要

A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer suitable for forming a slide for projection viewing comprising a polymeric central dye image-receiving section (10) and an integral polymeric frame section (20) extending around the periphery of the central dye image-receiving section (10), the frame section (20) being from 1/2 to 3 mm thick and the central dye image-receiving section (10) preferably being thinner than the frame section. Such integral receiver-frames do not require post-imaging framing and mounting assembly operations in order to be viewable in slide projectors, and are particularly advantageously used in laser thermal dye transfer systems.
