Does someone out there know where I could find techniques, printers or literature to learn how to print a digital photo on other surface such as marble, as www.photostone.com does.

You might try using a heat transfer process like T-shirt paper and an iron or heated press with a color laser printer or dye sub printer and try transferring the image that way. Remember to flip the image side to side(horizontally) before printing, so that when you transfer it to the object it'll face the right way. This might work with inkjet transfer papers, but I think the toner or dye sub ink might transfer better. Try it.

Tell me, what's the application in transferring images to rock or marble? Personalized paper weights? Neatly rendered manifestos for fundamentalists who feel tying a note to a brick is just too old fashioned? A resurgence of the Bedrock Gazette? Just tell me you're not really Moses and that you're finally getting around to replacing that third tablet... ;-)

You might look at Fargo, they make a line of printers that are used to do heat transfers for cups and things. Try a search for heat transfer printing.

Good luck.
