PURPOSE: To enable dye transfer images of high quality by using a liquid lubricant in the slipping layer of a resistive ribbon dye-donor element. CONSTITUTION: A resistive ribbon dye-transfer element includes a resistive material support having a liquid lubricant slipping layer on one surface. On the other surface of the support is a conductive layer and a dye-containing layer. Any resistive material may be used for the resistive support provided it is dimensionally stable and can convert electrical current to heat. A preferred resistive support comprises, for example, 15 μm thick polycarbonate support containing 30 wt.% carbon. The liquid lubricant used in the slipping layer is preferably the lubricant which is liquid at room temperature (e.g. 15-25 deg.C) of liquid siloxane based compounds (having the structure which is made up of alternate silicon and oxygen atoms) such as polysiloxanes and silicones, aliphatic polyoxyethylene partial phosphate esters, liquid hydrocarbon based lubricants, and fatty acid ester oils. |
