Howdy all,

I have two separate requests for flat stock printing that I'm not exactly sure how to approach. I do almost all textile and print a few thousand heat transfer sheets using my shirtboards a year so my experience here is about nil.

I read that you can add nylobond to plastisol to print on the leather. True? Are there other inks that work better?

For the wood I'm clueless as to what is best. I'm interested in learning though as this is a cool project- printing headstock laminate pieces for cigar-box guitars.

I'm guessing "high" (in textile terms) mesh counts for both? Maybe 255?

Thanks or any help/advice.

-Chris
