Abstract: Receptor sheet suitable for thermal mass transfer printing. The receptor sheet comprises a polymeric backing bearing on at least one major surface thereof a wax-compatible, image receptive layer having a softening temperature in the range of about 30.degree. C. to about 90.degree. C., the surface of said image receptive layer having a higher critical surface tension than the donor material of the donor sheet from which pigmented wax is transferred to the receptor sheet to form images thereon. A preferred receptor sheet comprises a backing made of polyethylene terephthalate and an image receptive layer formed from a blend of a wax and a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.

Abstract: Transparency film for use in a plain paper electrostatic copier. The transparency film comprises (a) a flexible, transparent, heat resistant, polymeric film base, (b) an image receiving layer carried upon a first major surface of the film base, and (c) a layer of electrically conductive material carried on a second major surface of the film base. Where necessary a primer coat is interposed between the image receiving layer and the film base and/or between the layer of electrically conductive material and the film base. A protective coating is preferably applied over the layer of conductive material. This film can be used in either powder-toned or liquid-toned plain paper copiers for making transparencies.
