Claim:
A print assembly comprising: a dye-donor element comprising a dye-donor layer, wherein the dye-donor element includes a donor stick preventative agent; and a receiver comprising a dye image-receiving layer, wherein the receiver includes a receiver stick preventative agent of the formula: wherein R 1 is an alkyl chain of C 9 H 19 or greater; R 2 is an alkyl chain of C 3 H 6 or greater; A is NH—R 3 , NHNH 2 , NHCO—R 3 , NH—R 4 —NH 2 , or NHCO—R 4 —NH 2 , R 3 , is an alkyl chain of C 2 H 5 or greater; R 4 is an alkyl chain of C 2 H 4 or greater; m is from about 0 to 95 weight percent; n is from about 0 to about 70 weight percent; p is from 0 to about 40 weight percent; and q is from 0 to 95 weight percent, with the proviso that when m is 0, then n is 0, and R 3 is an alkyl chain of C 8 H 17 , or greater, otherwise when m is greater than 0, n is from 0.1 to 70 weight percent, based on the total weight of the receiver stick preventative agent; and wherein the dye-donor element and receiver are in superposed position such that the dye-donor layer is adjacent the dye image-receiving layer.
