Digital printed holsters

Eric, did you ask any in depth questions on the printer?  I had an Epson 7200 many years ago that use pigment dyes, it would print on canvas but don't know if it would do 8oz leather.

No, we were there to look at his 3D printer and only briefly talked about the color printer. I should have taken pics so I could read up on the models.

 A couple of years ago I made a journal cover for my son's girlfriend at the time I used transfer sheet like you would use for fabric and covered it with satin sheen.

What are you running these on, a Roland? Has to be pigment inks to keep the image on the leather. I have a VP-300, but I don't think I could run 8oz leather through it...hmmm

There has to be a method to the madness, I have not seen any of Savoy holsters in person but it seems like it might be a similar fashion, and if that is the case maybe a printer will be in more holster makers shops in the near future.  Maybe something could be looked researched and shared with the group!!!

by looking at the Savoy holsters i assume they have stamps for the design and they go back and either dye or paint them to embellish the stamp. looks like they might do some hand work in some spots. my guess is that they have full design stamps.
