Abstract:
A silver halide photographic element, which comprises:a support having a front and rear surface,a heat activated transfer coating layer which is at least 0.5 mil in thickness on said front surface of the support which is a material capable of transferring and adhering developed image and non-image areas from said front surface of said support upon the application of heat energy to the rear surface of the support, said heat activated transfer coating layer capable of stripping from said front surface of the support by liquefying and releasing from said support when heated, said liquefied transfer coating layer providing adherence to a fabric receptor element by flowing onto said fabric receptor element and solidifying thereon, said transfer coating layer being capable of providing colorfast images, wherein the transfer coating layer is provided on the support without an intervening release layer; andat least one silver halide light sensitive emulsion layer on said heat activated transfer coating,said adherence does not require an external adhesive layer and occurs in an area at least coextensive with the area of said at least one silver halide light sensitive emulsion layer.
