Particulate polypropylene waxes for dye-donor element used in thermal dye transfer.

摘要

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the dye layer also containing at least one particulate polypropylene wax having an average particle size less than 30 mu m and having a melting point above 125 DEG C. Use of the particulate wax minimizes various printing defects without reducing gloss.
