Wood and Leather

[bikertec]

Can you use sublimation on wood and leather and if so do you need to treat it first. Something like a special caoting type stuff.

As these aren't white then the final picture wouldn't be too good (and you would have to coat them). I think TMT CPM6.2 papers go onto woods and leathers fine.

onto leather your talking embossing, not printing.

I used embossing but I wanted to print designs instead of photos. We do Altar boxes and wanted to print "magical designs on leather and wood".

Is that something you stock.

We stock TMT CPM6.2 papers for use in specific laser printers, but don't stock wood or leather products for that purpose. Have a look at TMT website - I think they have a picture of a leather shoe printed up with CPM somewhere on their site.

Does leather melt,

Don't think leather melts - after all if it's cow hide then it shouldn't melt. That said I don't know many cows that stand in heat of 160 - 180 degrees C!
