Abstract: Two-sheet diffusion transfer assemblages, photographic elements and dye image-receiving elements are described wherein an overcoat layer is present on the photographic element or the dye image-receiving element superposed thereon. The overcoat layer comprises either silica or an ionic polyester in a hydrophilic colloid which prevents spontaneous delamination during the lamination period, yet permits satisfactory peel-apart afterwards.
Abstract: Two-sheet diffusion transfer assemblages and photographic elements are described which contain a primer layer located between a polymeric acid layer and a timing layer. The primer layer prevents unwanted transfer of portions of the emulsion layer to the receiver when the receiver and photographic element are peeled apart. The primer layer comprises:(a) a mixture of gelatin and cellulose nitrate, or(b) a mixture of an acrylic acid copolymer and a particular acrylic acid terpolymer, or(c) an acrylic acid copolymer as described herein.
Abstract: A process for eliminating cracking in a titanium dioxide-hydroxyethylcellulose layer by simultaneously coating thereover a hydrophilic colloid layer such as gelatin.
Abstract: Excessive image density produced during or after processing by dye diffusing from the image generating unit into the dye image-receiving layer of an integral color transfer assemblage is controlled by incorporating into the assemblage a scavenger layer capable of immobilizing byproducts of processing reactions which may affect image quality in the image-receiving layer.
