Gidday,
About the imprint..............YES. Mal Mc Lure's a/c here in Aussie, which 
took out the "Tour de Elegaunce" and "Members Choice" awards is faultless, 
except for this imprint. For a couple of plies of BID its well worth it. I 
know I will be doing it, with carbon, or a carbon/kevlar mix cloth I have. 
I'm not sure about how many layers you need, but probably a single ply of 
carbon would be enough, or two would be plenty, even BID for that matter.
