Abstract

Transparent image-recording elements that contain ink-receptive layers that can be imaged by the application of liquid ink dots. The ink-receptive layers contain a combination of: PA0 (i) a vinyl pyrrolidone: PA0 (ii) particles of a polyester, namely a poly(cyclohexylenedimethylene-co-xylylene terephthalate-co-malonate-co-sodioiminobis(sulfonylbenzoate)); PA0 (iii) a homopolymer or a copolymer of an alkylene oxide containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; PA0 (iv) a polyvinyl alcohol; PA0 (v) a fluorocarbon surfactant of the formula: EQU CF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.m CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n R PA0 where m is an integer of 2 through 10, n is an integer of 1 through 18 and R is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 through 10 carbon atoms; and PA0 (vi) inert particles. PA1 A printing method which employs the transparent image-recording elements also is described.
