printer for balsa sheet

Post by woolies »

Is there currently available, a printer to print on balsa without folding or rolling the balsa? I am looking for one. (Jan.2016)

Print a mirror image on glossy paper using a laser printer and transfer the print to balsa using an iron.

Isn't print wood, actually, silk screen wood?

Usually it's printed by offset lithography.
They make printers that work with rigid media, and some people modify ordinary printers by increasing the distance between the feed rollers, which is an inexpensive option.
