Abstract
A receiver sheet for dye diffusion thermal transfer printing comprises a white molecularly oriented polyester film, supporting a layer of dye-receptive material on one surface, the other surface of the film being laminated to an undersheet of higher compliance than the film, and the thickness of the film lying within the range 10 to 50 .mu.m. The undersheet increases the effective compliance of the receiver, increasing the area heated during printing thereby to give better pixel transfer.
