Claims
- 1. A sublimination transfer image receiving material comprising a base material and a dye-receiving layer, said dye-receiving layer comprising a lubricant and a polyester resin comprising an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component comprising an alicyclic glycol component.
- 2. The material according to claim 1, wherein the alicyclic glycol component of the polyester resin is comprised of a tricylcodecane component or/and a cyclohexane component.
- 3. The material according to claim 1, wherein the polyester resin further comprises an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid component.
- 4. The material according to claim 1, wherein said lubricant is selected from the group consisting of fluororesins, silicone resins, organic carboxylate compounds, and mixtures thereof.
- 5. The material according to claim 3, wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is at least 60 mol % of the total acid component mol %.
- 6. The material according to claim 5, wherein the alicyclic glycol component is at least 20 mol % of the total glycol component mol %
- 7. The material according to claim 6, wherein the T.sub.g of the polyester ranges from 40.degree. C. to 120.degree. C.
- 8. A method for obtaining printed images comprising contacting a dye-receiving layer of a sublimination transfer image receiving material with a thermal dye transfer sheet which includes a dye and heating the material and sheet so that the dye in the transfer sheet is transferred to the dye-receiving layer, wherein the dye-receiving layer comprises a polyester resin comprising an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component comprising an alicyclic glycol component.
- 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the polyester resin further comprises an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid component.
- 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is at least 60 mol % of the total acid component mol %.
- 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the alicyclic glycol component is at least 20 mol % of the total glycol component mol %.
- 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the T.sub.g of the polyester ranges from 40.degree. C. to 120.degree. C.
- 13. The method according to claim 8, wherein the material further comprises a lubricant.
- 14. The method according to claim 8, wherein the dye-receiving layer further comprises a lubricant.
- 15. The method according to claim 12, wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is at least 60 mol % of the total acid component mol % and the alicyclic glycol component is at least 20 mol % of the total glycol component mol %.
- 16. An assemblage for obtaining printed images comprising (a) a dye-receiving layer of a sublimination transfer image receiving material and (b) a thermal dye transfer sheet which includes a dye that is transferred to the dye-receiving layer when the layer is superimposed on the transfer sheet after exposure thereof, wherein the dye-receiving layer comprises a polyester resin comprising an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component comprising an alicyclic glycol component.
- 17. The assemblage according to claim 16, wherein the polyester resin further comprises an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid component.
- 18. The assemblage according to claim 17, wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is at least 60 mol % of the total acid component mol %.
- 19. The assemblage according to claim 18, wherein the alicyclic glycol component is at least 20 mol % of the total glycol component mol %.
- 20. The assemblage according to claim 19, wherein the T.sub.g of the polyester ranges from 40.degree. C. to 120.degree. C.
- 21. The assemblage according to claim 16, wherein the material further comprises a lubricant.
- 22. The assemblage according to claim 16, wherein the dye-receiving layer further comprises a lubricant.
