Hi everyone.

I'm wondering if there is a coated type paper that would allow laser toner to remove from it and be applied to thick paper say if heated to a certain temp.

Sublimation paper looks and feels a lot like ordinary copy paper but it won't transfer a print to card unless the card is specially coated with a polymer layer.

I have been able to produce nice prints on a holographic card but the cards curl badly because of the printed side shrinking very slightly when cooling.

Why not just use an ordinary inkjet printer? My old Canon ix6850 prints easily on heavy card and magnetic sheet.

Are you wanting something like CPM from The Magic Touch?
