Abstract: A polymer composition including a cyclic-olefinic copolymer and another polymer, an image-receiving element including the polymeric composition in an image-receiving layer, a print assembly including the image-receiving element, and a method of printing are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a toner receiver member comprising a base, at least one tie layer adjacent to said base, and at least one toner receiver layer adjacent said at least one tie layer on the side opposite to the base, wherein said at least one toner receiver layer comprises a layer of branched polyester or a mixture of styrene acrylate copolymer with an ethylene methacrylate copolymer or with a low density polyethylene.

Abstract: A high-CHDM PET-based support for an imaging element can be annealed relatively rapidly to achieve acceptable core-set and post-process curl properties. The fast annealing response of this material allows effective in-line annealing of the film support, yielding a more efficient manufacturing process with less annealing-induced defects in the imaging support.
