Abstract
A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on the front side thereof, in order, a biaxially-oriented composite film laminated thereto and a dye image-receiving layer, the composite film comprising a microvoided thermoplastic core layer and at least one substantially void-free thermoplastic surface layer, the support having on the back side thereof, in order, a biaxially-oriented film laminated thereto, a subbing layer and an antistatic layer, the subbing layer comprising an acrylic monomer, an acrylic homopolymer, an acrylic copolymer, a mixture of polyethylenes and a copolymer or terpolymer of polypropylene, or polypropylene having at least 0.1 g/m.sup.2 of titanium dioxide, the ratio of thickness of the back side film to the composite film being from about 0.45 to about 1.0.
