Sorry for being away for so long...
I'm at work right now, but as soon as I come home I'll upload some pictures I got yesterday. I'm evaluating many different techniques in order to get the best result as possible. So, yesterday I got two printing samples from the companies I've asked to help me. My first try was to use Digital Printing. I had no success because 98% of the printers are ready to print only in white paper. I don't know how much do you know about the printing process, but for the colors to have a good looking, they need the "white" on them! All the colors need the white color, that's why the papers we use to print are white. This week I'm developing with another company, a matrix, to print it to paper using Silk-Screen. With silk-screen technique, I'm able to apply a white base before printing the colors. This way will work, I'm sure of it, but is a little bit slower than using Digital printing.

If you have any doubts guys, please let me know. We are here to help one each other.

And as soon as I come home I'll upload the pictures for the Digital printing.

Peace,
Rafa
