Abstract: A liquid ink jet ink comprising a carrier, a pigment and a polysaccharide resin having a number average molecular weight of 500,000 to 2,500,000 is disclosed.

Abstract: A dye-receiving element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on the front side thereof, in order, a biaxially-oriented composite film laminated thereto and a dye image-receiving layer, the composite film comprising a microvoided thermoplastic core layer and at least one substantially void-free thermoplastic surface layer, the support having on the back side thereof, in order, a biaxially-oriented film laminated thereto, a subbing layer and an antistatic layer, the subbing layer comprising an acrylic monomer, an acrylic homopolymer, an acrylic copolymer, a mixture of polyethylenes and a copolymer or terpolymer of polypropylene, or polypropylene having at least 0.1 g/m.sup.2 of titanium dioxide, the ratio of thickness of the back side film to the composite film being from about 0.45 to about 1.0.

Abstract: A method for making a color imaging device that comprises means for sensing radiation comprising a planar array of charge-handling semiconductive photosensors, at least some of the photosensors having a radiation sensing area with at least one dimension less than about 100 micrometers, and superimposed thereon, filter means for controlling access of radiation to the sensing means. The filter means comprises a transparent, polymeric dye receiving layer for receiving heat-transferable dyes and further comprises a plurality of radiation intercepting means defining a planar array of filter elements lying in the receiving layer in micro-registration with the sensing areas of the photosensors. The filter area of each intercepting means contains at least one heat-transferable dye transferred to the dye receiving layer by heating and diffusion. The heat-transferable dye absorbs radiation in at least one portion of the spectrum and transmits radiation in at least one other portion of the spectrum.

Abstract: A photosensitive composition comprising a mixture of cadmium iodide and cuprous iodide is useful in photographic elements. The elements are imagewise exposed to radiation and conventionally developed to form an image.
