The ink-receptive layers contain a combination of:(i) a vinyl pyrrolidone;(ii) particles of a polyester, namely a poly(cyclohexylenedimethylene-co-oxydiethylene isophthalate-co-sodio-sulfobenzenedicarboxylate);(iii) a homopolymer or a copolymer of an alkylene oxide containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;(iv) a polyvinyl alcohol;(v) a compound or a mixture of compounds having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 and R3 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 4 or a phenyl group, and n is an integer of 1 to 10; and(vi) inert particles.A printing method which employs the transparent image-recording elements also is described.Field of SearchLaminated, impregnated, or coated basesNONUNIFORM COATING Final coating nonuniform Including particulate material Polymeric or resinous material Heavy metal or aluminum or compound thereof Iron oxide or aluminum oxide Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or compound thereof 1 mil or less Of polyester (e.g., alkyd, etc.) Next to addition polymer from unsaturated monomers Of addition polymer from unsaturated monomers Ester, halide or nitrile of addition polymer TRANSFER OR DECALCOMANIA | |
