  • Thermal transfer imaging element and method of using same
    Patent number: 7588656
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a donor element comprising a support layer, a transfer layer supported by the support layer, and a second layer disposed between the support layer and the transfer layer, wherein the second layer contains a binder and optionally an uncured crosslinking agent, but substantially no pigment. The binder in the second layer has a molecular weight Mn that causes the second layer to be substantially transferred with the transfer layer when the donor element is exposed to light.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2009
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Gregory Charles Weed, Richard Albert Coveleskie

  • Receiver element for adjusting the focus of an imaging laser
    Patent number: 6881526
    Abstract: A process for adjusting the energy of an imaging laser for imaging of a thermally imageable element including the steps of: (a) providing an imaging unit having a non-imaging laser and an imaging laser, the non-imaging laser having a light detector which is in communication with the imaging laser, (b) contacting a receiver element with the thermally imageable element in the imaging unit, wherein the receiver element comprises a light attenuating layer having a front surface and a back surface; (c) actuating the non-imaging laser to expose the thermally imageable element and the receiver element to an amount of light energy sufficient for the light detector to detect the amount of light reflected from the thermally imageable element and light attenuating layer of the receiver element; and (d) actuating the imaging laser to focus the imaging laser in order to expose the thermally imageable element to an amount of light energy sufficient for imaging the thermally imageable element.

    Patent number: 5939232
    Abstract: An element containing, in order: a first strippable substrate; a substantially transparent, non-photosensitive, polymeric isolation layer having a coating weight of 10 to 150 mg/dm.sup.2 ; an elastomeric layer having a coating weight of 25 to 200 mg/dm.sup.2 ; a pigmented photosensitive, preferably photopolymerizable layer; and a second different strippable substrate adjacent the photosensitive layer, wherein the photosensitive layer upon imagewise exposure to actinic radiation exhibits a lowered peel force relative to a system which does not have a polymeric isolation layer.
