ABSTRACT:
A thermal dye transfer process, and intermediate receiver used therein, for obtaining a color image which is used to represent a printed color image obtained from a printing press comprising (a) forming a thermal dye transfer image in a polymeric dye image-receiving layer of an intermediate dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon said dye image-receiving layer by imagewise-heating a dye-donor element and transferring a dye image to the dye image-receiving layer, (b) adhering the dye image-receiving layer to a surface of a final receiver element by heat laminating the intermediate dye receiving element to the final receiver element, and (c) stripping the intermediate dye receiving element support from the dye image-receiving layer, wherein the intermediate dye receiving element further comprises a cushion layer between the support and the dye image-receiving layer, the shear modulus of the cushion layer being less than the shear modulus of the support and less than ten times the shear modulus of the dye image-receiving layer at the temperature of lamination in step (b), and wherein the cushion layer is stripped from the dye image-receiving layer along with the support in step (c).
