The present invention relates to an image recording element comprising a support having on one side thereof an image-receiving layer, wherein the image-receiving layer comprises a polyester comprising (a) recurring dibasic acid derived units and polyol derived units, at least 50 mole % of the dibasic acid derived units comprising dicarboxylic acid derived units each containing an alicyclic ring comprising 4 to 10 ring carbon atoms, which ring is within two carbon atoms of each carboxyl group of the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, (b) 25 to 75 mole % of the polyol derived units containing an aromatic ring not immediately adjacent to each hydroxyl group of the corresponding polyol; and (c) 25 to 75 mole % of the polyol derived units of the polyester contain an alicyclic ring comprising 4 to 10 ring carbon atoms. Image recording elements of the invention are especially useful for thermal dye transfer printing or electrophotographic printing of images with dyes, pigments, or toner materials.
