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!

At first thank you very much for fast reply.

We are trying to make business card. It is made out of one ply so that is flexible and durable. 

Can you tell me more about that stickers and lacquer. What kind of material, where can I get them. Because lacquer that I have now peels of when I scratched it.

 I also wonder how precise is technique with stickers. How small letters can you make and if sticker after curing stay nice. I am worried that sticker would get wrinkled after that.
