Abstract
Thermally processable imaging elements in which the image is formed by imagewise heating or by imagewise exposure to light followed by uniform heating are comprised of a support, a thermographic or photothermographic imaging layer, a protective overcoat layer and a backing layer and include in at least one layer thereof, polymeric matte particles comprising a polymeric core surrounded by a layer of colloidal inorganic particles. The polymeric matte particles provide enhanced image quality and improved processing characteristics with respect to adhesion, dusting and lack of haze.
