The described polymer system comprises a crosslinked polymer formed by interaction of a hydroxyl group-containing polymer with one or more organo-titanium reagents. The overlayer is highly adherent to the conductive surface, has a low organic binder content and provides effective protection against abrasion of the conductive layer and fouling of a print head during electroerosion printing.<img id="iaf01" file="imgaf001.tif" wi="123" he="45" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" inline="no" /></p></abstract><search-report-data lang="en" id="srep" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="srep0001.tif" type="tif" orientation="portrait" he="295" wi="208" /></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
