    What is this black magic?

    Looks like she’s taken a standard piece of ply and placed a laminating pouch over the top then pressed it then added the image and pressed that.

    then trimmed the excess pouch away but what’s holding the pouch to the wood and can you sublimate to a laminating pouch?

    Yes, you can, as a cheap way of finding out head to your nearest Poundworld (or similar) and buy a quids worth of A4 pouches - remember that you can slice each pouch in two (front and rear), print using your normal paper and press onto a substrate. Poundworld also sell mini magnetic canvas frames at 50p each which make novel fridge magnets so you can add a new stock item for pennies!

    What time and temps did you use for that?
    I might give it a bash with some odd bits I have laying about.

    Just the 1st thing I tried , if I remember correctly it was 190c for 95 seconds.

    I just seem to get lucky most times so tend not to mess around too much on the basis of "it ain't broke, don't fix it" but at the prices I mentioned it's not an expensive experiment.

    Had totally forgotten, but we played with lamination for fabrics to make oil cloth type wash bags ... started with pouches for testing, before buying in rolls. In theory can stick the laminate and do transfer at same time, but moisture escape caused ripples and print problems. In the end we sent our fabrics to a proper coating company. Was fun playing though, not sure why we didn't try hard surfaces now!
