Dye-receiving element containing spacer beads in a laser-induced thermal dye transfer.

摘要

A dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon a dye-receiving layer containing a laser-induced thermal dye transfer image, the element containing spacer beads of such particle size and concentration that effective contact between the dye-receiving element and a dye-donor element is prevented during transfer of the laser-induced thermal dye transfer image, the spacer beads being located either in the dye-receiving layer or in a layer thereover.
