Jim,

I see a few possibilities. Use OEM laser transfer process to apply the images to the antler, then epoxy-coat.

Look in the digital imaging/dye sub folder to read about that process.

Mick Eminger is our local expert and supplier of products for that process. See his Cactus Equipment ad in our "Special Deals" section, located at the top of this page.

If the epoxy coating itself can stand up to 375-400 degrees, full color sublimation, directly into the epoxy coating would be possible.

If your epoxy finish can't take the heat, there are self-coating solutions that will stand the heat and create a very dye-receptive finish.

Jim Cagnina, owner of Coast Graphic Supply (CGS), is always on the lookout for unique sublimatable items. He also has a couple of the self-coating options I mentioned.

I'm sure he'd be willing to work with you, in "making it work."

Coast Graphic Suply is also one of our "Special Deal" suppliers.
