ABSTRACT:
There is provided by the present invention a coating formulation and thermal transfer medium and printer which provide printed images in a range of colors by employing thermal dye systems in the thermal transfer layers that form the images. The thermal dye systems contain at least two reactive dyes which react at different temperatures, an activator for the reactive dyes and optionally, a sensitizer for the reactive dyes. The use of multiple reactive dyes enables a range of colors to be produced from one thermal transfer ribbon using either a multihead thermal printer or a single head thermal printer operating at different print head energies.
