Default Can I use Heat press on Polyurethane Laminate material?

Hi,

I need to know if I can use Heat press to put my designs on a Polyurethane Laminate material? Will it damage the material because of the heat?

thanks

Rob

Most heat applied vinyl will not stick to smooth surfaces, so I woulsd say no,, but you can use sign vinyl,, hope this helps.

Sorry maybe my bad,, one track mind thinking of vinyl,, if its a print I would say no, you probably not get a transfer and also it would warp or melt your material and then you would have a huge mess.. i have never tried it. thats what they make sublimation substrates for, transfers and high heat.
