GRAPHICS TRANSFER ARTICLE WITH OVERLAYER COMPRISING A PREMASK LAYER WHICH, IN TURN, COMPRISES A PROTECTIVE LAYER WHICH PROTECTS AN IMAGE THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO A TARGET SUBSTRATE

摘要

A graphics overlay composite comprising a premask layer and a protective layer, wherein the premask layer provides handleability and the protective layer provides environmental protection of an imaged composite once the premask layer is removed. Optionally, the protective layer is deformable under lamination conditions such that the graphics overlay composite can be laminated to an imaged receptor to provide a graphics transfer article or a graphics applique, either of which can be laminated to an atypical receptor to form an image composite.
