Abstract (en)

The present invention discloses a dye donor element comprising on a support a dye donor layer comprising a dye dispersed in a binder, characterised in that said dye donor element has a relative elongation delta L in the main direction and a relative elongation delta B in the transverse direction such that the angle alpha between the resultant of the vector sum of delta L and delta B and the vector delta L is less than 82 DEG , said relative elongations delta L and delta B being measured under conditions of 200 DEG C with a load of 200g for 10 minutes. Less wrinkles are formed in a thermal transfer printing process using a dye donor element according to the invention.
