Email me tomorrow craig (or bump this thread). We had a load of images printed onto mdf blocks for our office. I'll need to find out where we did it though.

find a tshirt shop that uses a plotter to laser cut and print vinyl which it transfers to it's tees. Ask 'em if they can print onto mdf. They should be able too.

i'd ask around at framing shops... even at the local mall. i remember it was kinda a hip thing in the 80's and 90's to have prints mounted to MDF.
i had a Porsche 911 poster mounted like this when i was about 10.. and thought it was the hotness.

A kind of cheap wood, scarabin.

we had a lot of posters dry transfered and then matt laminated onto 5mm board. Just ask either a print finisher or a professional (trade) framing company.

yeah thats exactly what i need, can you recommend anyone?
