Abstract:
A print assembly including a dye-donor element and a receiver element, wherein the print assembly has a donor having a dye-donor layer having a first glass transition temperature and at least one dye, and a receiver having a dye-receiving layer having a second glass transition temperature on a support, wherein the print assembly has a receiver/donor dye partition coefficient of at least 2.5 when the print assembly is heated above the higher of the first or second glass transition temperature for a time sufficient to achieve an equilibrium state of dye distribution between the dye-donor layer and dye-receiving layer. The print assembly can be used at fast print speeds of 2.0 msec/line or less.

Abstract:
Novel blends have been discovered comprising: (A) a polyamide; (B) a polymer that is miscible with polystrene; and (C) a compatibilizer comprising a copolymer having repeating units derived from an aromatic vinyl compound monomer and repeating units derived from vinylphenol monomers, wherein at least about 50% of said aromatic vinyl compound monomers are styrene monomeric units. The blends show improvements in mechanical properties as compared to similar blends without the compatibilizer.
