Hydrographics / Water Transfer Printing

Thinking about starting a business, anyone know anything about doing this kind of thing?

I did some research on it recently, while looking into new processes for work. Our R&D guy had never heard of it, and was blown away by it. It does look interesting. You can buy a starter kit for about a hundred bucks. I think you'd be looking at a significant investment to do it on a large scale, though.

Oh, and FYI--you may find that the "carbon fiber" on the nifty tech gizmo you bought, isn't really carbon fiber. They have a hydrographic pattern for it. If you haven't heard of hydrographics before, it's how Mossy Oak camo and such is applied to guns, cases and assorted paraphernalia. There's all sorts of videos on the subject at Youtube.
