Hi!
Name is Mike. First time I am posting here and I thank you for everything this forum has taught me. 

I had a question on what material I can use to print on and slip into the laminate during the vacuum stage before curing?
The image below is a perfect example of what I would like to accomplish. 

What kind of material / ink would be best to use that will not interfere with the curing/epoxy of XC110?

Any info would be extremely helpful.
Thanks again!
Mike

Hi Mike.

I often use a vinyl sticker onto vacuum bagged mouldings and laquer over them before sanding and polishing. If you put a couple of coats of resin down first then the stickers look as if they are floating above the cf. These are obviously stickers rather than ink printed straight onto the CF. I would give somebody like stickers International a phone and discuss your requirements with them. Let the forum know the results as we all learn from others experiences.
