    Laser Printer for custom work

    So, I'm buying a pretty nice color laser for work, and was wondering what my customizing options might be.

    Emblems seem to be given.

    Box art, too, but that could be helluva lot of ink.

    What about suit work? Anyone do sublimation with laser?

    Will you be doing custom orders for people? You also mean to say you can print on fabric to make Mego custom costumes?

      Forgive my ignorance, but I thought laser printers use toner, not ink?

        It looks to be a two-step, heat press process.

        You print the design with laser toner, then heat press it to the material.

        I'm finding info on almost every type of material - wood, ceramic, plastic, leather - but not fabric.

        I have a high-end inkjet Epson, so I might use that also.

        I don't know when/if I'll get to test this, so talk to Austin if you haven't already. He's the sublimation suit king.
