I have a customer who shapes surfboards interested in getting his laminates screen-printed onto rice paper.The process is done when the surfboard is all shaped and the "glassing" begins. There is only a few companies that I've seen around and they have all told me they use plastisol ink under a dryer @ 375 degrees. My initial fear was that the rice paper may turn brownish or flare up from the heat. Now, my concern is how thick the print should be. Do I use ink reducer? My customer has said that in the past when he would use a standard inkjet printer the design would somewhat bubble underneath... possibly from being too thick? Any feedback would be appreciated.
