Appeal No. 1995-2781
Application No. 07/804,868
dye-diffusion transfer process for transferring image dye to a
polymeric receiving element layer. The instant invention
includes silver halide light sensitive layers, hydrophilic
binders, dye emitting compounds and thermal solvents. The
thermal solvent is said to have a calculated logP greater than
3 and less than 10. (Specification page 6, lines 15-23).
According to the specification, page 3, lines 8-10, the
calculated logP relates to the variation in the partition
coefficient of a molecule between octanol and water. The
solvent is said to aid the transfer of dyes from the imaging
layer to the receiver element. (Specification page 6, lines
9-12). The compositions of the present invention are said to
yield improved dye images in receiving layers of the
photographic element. (Specification page 5, lines 16-17).
