The following email consists the original post to the OandP LISTSERV along with the responses I received. Thanks to all that responded.
Philip T. Lis
I am looking for transfer paper that allows personal pictures/photographs to be
applied to copoly plastic. We have a patient that has personal photographs that
were transferred to his afo's at another facility. Where can we purchase this
paper and what are the legal aspects if the patient wants to use pictures that
are copyrighted. Thanks for your assistance.
RESPONSES:
I just went through this for one of my patients. The transfer paper is not
the secret - you need to have a printer that prints with sublimation ink.
The best suggestion to get the work done locally is to call a t-shirt
printing place and ask them if they have a sublimation ink printer. If you
get the photo copied using sublimation ink then the ink will transfer onto
the hot plastic.
Do not try to use iron - on transfer paper from office supply shops - the
image is on a film and the film scratches off like a scratch and win ticket!
