I have been doing a bit of research and apparently you can run thin sheets of veneer through a top loading inkjet printer.
I think this could be a cool way of doing some more rustic straight onto wood prints. Logos, pickup toppers and whatever else you can think of. You could even use it as like a inlay material. :monkey:
The sheets i am talking about are so thin they are like thin cardboard. obviously you would have to use maple ones for better results when printing on
What do you guys think?

Wouldn't the ink have a tendency to bleed like with untreated paper?
RE: IDEA# - Big Flannel - 08-02-2015
I'd be interested to see how it works.

I think you should try it to see what happens. I'm interested to see the results!

i don't think so but i will try it.

I run fabric through my printer and it doesn't bleed so i would imagine wood wouldn't.
I just got 50 smackers worth of super jumbo gold eveo wire so i will have to wait before i spend more on some test sheets. Damn kids taking my money.

I updated this in the wrong thread.
Anyway it worked like a fucking charm. I will use this method on my latest build.

This would work great on a tele body or even as a easy way to do a entire matching headstock with logo/graphics. I really love how you can see the grain through it.

I think you got some paint on your toes.
RE: IDEA# - kinnikuman - 08-17-2015
Ok that's a bit better.

I think the yella will work with the rose alder/red dots and evo gold frets.
