Abstract
A dye donor sheet comprising a dye resisting substrate, a release layer coating thereon, on which is coated a continuous layer of sublimation dye which is coated over substantially the entire surface of the release layer and incorporating at least in its surface a bonding medium which is capable of causing the dye to adhere to the thermoplastic print of a printed sheet placed in contact with the layer of dye and subjected to heat and pressure, thereby to produce a dye transfer sheet.
