Multilayered article including a functionalized and vulcanized elastomer adherent by itself to a thermoplastic chosen from polyamides, PBT, mixtures containing polyvinylidene fluoride and ethylenevinyl alcohol and ethylenetetrafluoroethylene copolymers. A curved side extends between the upper and lower ends and rotates 360\xb0 about a central axis of the body portion to form a curved surface of the body portion. The permanent joint can be established by laser-welding a shim disposed between the first body and the supplemental body. The image receiving layer is then brought into contact with the adhesive patch and, the carrier sheet is removed, thereby imparting an image to the substrate. The second and third logic paths have power-gating that allows the input to the pull-up and pull-down devices to float removing gate-leakage voltage stress. Each printing head has a separate filament which is controlled and driven by its own stepper motor through the heating block to one of the print tips.
