transfer paper to flat plastic problem

transfer paper to flat plastic problem

Hi All

This is a project I've been asked to help out with. I have the need to
create a piece of 1/4 thick copoly with a thermal transfer design on it.
This piece of plastic needs to be completely flat once cooled. Ideally if I
could get the paper design on and have the plastic look as though it hasn't
been heated it would be perfect. I've tried heating the plastic, adding
the transfer as usual and letting the plastic cool on a flat surface but
the cooled result is wobbly. I'm considering putting the plastic into a
metal frame, adding transfer and then vacuuming over a flat surface on our
platten but that seems like a ton of work. Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA
