ABSTRACT:
Kit for thermal mass transfer printing comprising (1) a donor sheet having a backing bearing an image donating layer on at least one major surface thereof, and (2) a receptor sheet having a transparent backing bearing a transparent image receptive layer on at least one major surface thereof.
The image donating layer does not contain wax or other hazy, opaque, or nonhomogenous materials. Colors are imparted to the image donating layer by means of dyes or dispersed transparent pigments that exhibit transparency in the particular binders used. While other thermal mass transfer systems are limited to melting or softening of the image donating layer only, the system of the present invention can also involve softening of the image receptive layer only, or softening of both image donating layer and image receptive layer.
