Carl,
You DID see Forest Gump didn't you? It was meant completely as a compliment.

I would have NEVER thought to use OEM transfer on wood....and now my mind is agog......with ideas....

Brilliant man......simply Brilliant.

I do and I will.

How long and at what temp do you press them? What do you sell them for?

With my Konica/Minolta and standard lacquered silver and gold engraving aluminum I use:

340*;
2 minutes;
High pressure;
Peel when a little warm, not hot to the touch not room temperature.

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Yes I do use a silicon pad. It is a necessity to allow even heating and pressure when transferring. It adds time to the pressing but eliminates those really nasty voids of color.

On Acrylic I also use an additional silicon sheet against the transfer to prevent the irregularities of the foam sheet from showing in the acrylic if the pressure is a bit too much or the time is a little too much. It is a cookie sheet. You can find some that are smooth and some with a grain. Use the smooth ones only or you will get the grain pattern in the acrylic.

A Teflon sheet should work, as long as it is not woven then coated. That would give it a grain that will be transferred.

The cookie sheets are usually thicker also which helps prevent irregularities from the foam to get through.

David,
When you say litho printed, do you have any idea who might do that?
I have an order for 1400 mouspads and was thinking of having someone else print my transfers rather than me using my Epson 3000.
Thank you for your help.
Hope you have a nice day!
Rolf
Oh, the other question would be, would I have to use sublimation mousepads?
