So I have these blanks that I bought and I'm almost ready to attempt my first prints.
Any suggestions for prepping the deck surface? Light sanding?
Then, when the print is done, clear coat? |

If the decks were clear coated correctly, there should be no prep needed. I would just check them in the sun light for fingerprints or dirt. Then if needed just use water and a clean cloth.
If the printing ink is the right stuff it should adhear correctly. Don't try speedbal inks, they don't stick to clearcoat. Try nazdar 2700.
You won't need to clearcoat after printing. |
