Appeal No. 1997-1508 2
Application No. 08/489,822
comprises a substrate having a colorant layer wherein a fluorocarbon additive and pigment
are present in specific ratios. In one embodiment, the donor element is a laser addressable
mass transfer donor element. Additional limitations are described in the following
illustrative claims.
THE CLAIMS
Claims 1, 6, and 16 are illustrative of appellants’ invention and are reproduced
below:
1. A thermal mass transfer donor element comprising a substrate having a
surface colorant layer containing at least one pigment to be imagewise transferred,
wherein said colorant layer comprises a fluorocarbon additive in an amount to
provide a fluorocarbon additive: total pigment weight ratio from 1:20 to 1:1 and
the pigment loading is in the range of 35 to 65 weight %.
6. A mass transfer imagining element comprising a substrate having a
surface colorant layer containing at least one pigment to be imagewise transferred,
wherein said colorant layer comprises a fluorocarbon additive in an amount to
provide a fluorocarbon additive: total pigment weight ratio of at least 1:20 wherein
the element is a peel-apart development element.
16. A laser addressable mass transfer donor element comprising
a substrate,
a transferable surface colorant layer on one side of the substrate wherein
the colorant layer comprises a binder, at least one pigment, and a fluorocarbon
additive in an amount to provide a fluorocarbon additive: total pigment weight ratio
from 1:20 to 1:1
an IR absorber, wherein the IR absorber is located either in the colorant
layer or in a separate layer between the substrate and the colorant layer.
