Abstract:
A method for depositing a topcoat layer on, at least, one face of a substrate, includes the steps of: a) providing a flexible deposition device including a flexible supporting medium having a supporting surface coated with a film of a topcoat material; b) bringing into contact the film of topcoat material of the flexible deposition device with the face of the substrate; c) applying a pressure on the flexible supporting medium so that the flexible deposition device conforms to the geometry of the face of the substrate; and d) peeling off the flexible supporting medium from the substrate, whereby the topcoat material is at least partially separated from the flexible supporting medium and deposited on the contacted face of the substrate to form the top coat layer.
