Hi,
We're looking at a new project/product. I need to find a way of either printing directly from inkjet printer, or with a flatbed heat press onto a clear/transparent material. Has anyone done anything similar?
The final print will be stuck/glues around a glass cyclinder, a lot thinnner than a mug press could do. So, although we could likely get the factory to coat the cyclinder in appropriate material for pressing directly only, we would need a custom thin mug press, so I was thinking of finding a way of printing onto a clear film of some sort and attaching it.
Ideally, I would like to be able to have some sort of clear polyester type plastic so we can sublimate onto/into it.
Any help, ideas, or advice appreciated.
Thanks
