  2. Can't Silkscreen, Heat Press, what is this?

    Hello Everyone, I'm having trouble with this material. It's similar to leather, but I don't think it is leather. I need to put a logo on this, it's a wheel chair back rest. I've tried silkscreening, but the un-eveness of the material made it very difficult. I've tried applying a frisket...
