Thermal transfer imaging system.

摘要

A process for the thermal transferring of images comprising the steps of: a) providing a thermal transfer donor sheet comprising a front transfer surface and a back surface, said front surface comprising a layer of particles having average diameters of less than one micron, said particles being colored polymeric particles displaying an effective Tg of less than or equal to 55 DEG C, b) contacting said front surface with a receptor sheet, c) applying an imagewise distribution of heat to the back surface of said sheet sufficient to locally soften said dispersion of particles and transfer said particles to said receptor sheet, and c) separating said receptor sheet with an image thereon from said donor sheet. o
