Abstract:
A dye-receiving element for thermal dye comprising a support having on one side thereof a dye image-receiving layer comprising a vinyl latex polymer having the following general formula:A.sub.a -B.sub.b -C.sub.cwherein:A is derived from monomers which, when homopolymerized, yield a polymer having a Tg greater than 25.degree. C.;a is between 5 and 45 mole percent;B is derived from monomers which, when homopolymerized, yield a polymer having a Tg less than 10.degree. C.;b is between 35 and 90 mole percent;C is a repeat unit derived from the salt of an anionic water-soluble monomer; andc is between 0 and 20 mole percent, said dye image-receiving layer containing a thermally-transferred dye image.
