I tried MDF ... not with success, some transfer, but very little.

You could purchase some digi coat and that MAY work.

I say MAY because it depends on if the digi coat will soak in to the wood which will depend on what you have painted it with.

Alternatively use a paint that contains chemicals similar to powder coat (if there is such a thing) and then use Magic Touch CPM which works really well on powder coated materials
