Default Heat presses or screen printing on metals

I'm trying to figure out how i could go about transferring a design onto a round metal such as a pole.. has anyone had experience with this.. Can anyone give me ideas on the ink i should use, the machinery, or any techniques? I'm trying to print it onto polymer resin, carbon fiber or aluminum. Thanks

I can't imagine unless you go with the old fashioned stencils and spraypaint. Vinyl would probably be a better solution.

Sounds like a pad printing job. Of course you're limited on the wrap around. Good luck.

Only thing that comes to mind for me is the solvent printers on vinyl and treat it the same as wrapping a car

Depending on the diameter of the pole and the complexity of the design,you might try the photoez. Just a thought.
