Abstract
An elastomeric laminate material having resolution and image clarity includes an underlying ink graphic fabric material which is receptive to a SEBS like material, the underlying ink graphic fabric material layer having an image thereon having interstitial areas residing in the fabric and a SEBS like transparent polymeric material which is formed as a layer on the fabric layer and penetrating the interstitial areas in a manner to substantially remove all air therefrom and which is compressed and consolidated bonded to the ink graphic layer to form a substantially uniform laminate configuration and retain a transparent and elastic cushion characteristic through the exterior polymeric film layer enabling resolution and clarity of the image, wherein the exterior polymeric film layer imparts a nonslip tactile surface to the laminate.
