MIXTURE OF DYES FOR CYAN DYE DONOR FOR THERMAL COLOR PROOFING Abstract of the Disclosure A cyan dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a mixture of cyan dyes dispersed in a polymeric binder, at least one of the cyan dyes having the formula: Image wherein: R1 and R2 each independently represents hydrogen; a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having from about 5 to about 7 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted allyl group; or R1 and R2 can be joined together to form, along with the nitrogen to which they are attached, a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring; or either or both of R1 and R2 can be combined with R3 to form a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring; each R3 independently represents substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or allyl as described above for R1 and R2, alkoxy, aryloxy, halogen, thiocyano, acylamido, ureido, alkylsulfonamido, arylsulfonamido, alkylthio, arylthio or trifluoromethyl; or any two of R3 may be combined together to form a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring; or one or two of R3 may be combined with either or both of R1 and R2 to complete a 5- to 7-membered ring; m is an integer of from 0 to 4; R4 represents an electron withdrawing group; R5 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having from about 6 to about 10 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted hetaryl group having from about 5 to about 10 atoms; R6 and R7 each independently represents an electron withdrawing group; and R6 and R7 may be combined to form the residue of an active methylene compound and at least one of the other of the dyes having the formula: II Image wherein: R1, R2, R3 and m represent the same as above; X represents hydrogen, halogen or may be combined together with Y to represent the atoms necessary to complete a 6-membered aromatic ring; with the proviso that when X is hydrogen, then J represents NHCOR8, where RF represents a perfluorinated alkyl or aryl group; and with the further proviso that when X is halogen, then J represents NHCOR8, NHC02R8, NHCONHR8 or NHSO2R8; and with the further proviso that when X is combined with Y, then J represents CONHR8, SO2NHR8, CN, SO2R8 or SCN, in which case, however, R8 cannot be hydrogen; R8 is the same as R1 and R5 as described above; and Y is R1, R5, acylamino or may be combined together with X as described above.
