When the transferable covercoat (242) is printed with an image to form an imaged covercoat, the image has a higher adhesion to the covercoat than the covercoat has to the flexible substrate (510).

The overlayer disposed on the opaque layer can include a light-absorbing material in and/or on the overlayer.

The induced compressive stresses inhibit the formation of cracks in the overlay and/or mitigation of the effects of any cracks in the overlay.

The cut off recording paper (printing medium piece) is subjected to overcoat processing by the overcoat recording unit (140).

I think that Sanding is a sub-brand of one of the Chinese manufacturers.

As well, the present invention includes a multifunctional overlayer.

A fiber optic splice recoat includes a flexible outer sleeve positioned over the splice area filled with a UV curable recoat material.

A platinum overlayer is arranged on the gold layer.

The sleeve is filed with a UV curable recoat material and is subjected to UV energy to cure the recoat material.

A polymer over-layer is then applied that encapsulates the anti-biofilm agent.

This results in the inducement of compressive stresses in the metallic alloy overlay.

The underlayer of adhesive has a relatively lower flowability than the overlayer of adhesive and overlayer of adhesive has a relatively greater tackiness than the underlayer of adhesive.

The anti-biofilm agent prevents bacterial adhesion through the polymer over-layer.

The overcoat powder includes a tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) copolymer.
