Abstract

A thermal transfer printing sheet suitable for use in a thermal transfer printing process, comprising a substrate having a coating comprising a binder and an anthraquinone of the Formula I: ##STR1## or a mixture of an anthraquinone dye of the Formula I and a disazo dye of Formula II: EQU A-N=N-B-N=N-E II wherein: PA0 Z is hydrogen or an optionally substituted aliphatic or an optionally substituted aryl radical; PA0 A is the residue of a diazotizable phenylamino or naphthylamine, A-NH.sub.2, carrying no more than one unsaturated electron-withdrawing group; PA0 B is an optionally substituted thiophen-2,5-ylene or thiazol-2,5-xylene; and PA0 E is the residue of an aromatic coupling component E-X wherein X is an atom or group displaceable by a diazotized aromatic amine.
