Hello all,
I have a question about printing on carbon fibre. Me and my friends are working on some project and we would need to print something on carbon fibre.

We have already tried UV printers, direct printing and screen printing. The only method that is close to OK is screen printing, but paint just isn't durable enough (maybe if we could apply some kind of varnish over it would be ok).

We heard about some kind of foil, that you apply before curing carbon fibre but we don't know what would be the finish with that technique and what kind of foil we would need.

We are using 200g pre-preg cured at 130 deg C.

Thank you for your help!

Made myself a couple of hundred cards years ago

mine were 3ply 190 gram and I had all my details screen printed onto the cards after they were cut to size

not as long lasting as stickers but it was all about bullshit and visual impact an first impressions
