Abstract

A dye donor sheet which comprises a dye resisting substrate (1) of paper or aluminium foil coated with a release layer (2) coated with a layer (3) of sublimation dye, and a photocopy of other substrate sheet (5) bearing thermoplastic print (4), whereby a dye transfer sheet can be produced by transferring the dye from the donor sheet to thermoplastic print, as by means of a xenon flash tube if a transparent substrate sheet (5) is employed to enable heating of the dye by passing radiation through said substrate sheet.
