摘要

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprises a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a binder of cellulose triacetate or a cellulose mixed ester, such as cellulose acetate butyrate wherein the butyryl content is less than about 35% or the acetyl content is less than about 2% or both, or cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate.
