What is this application called?

Hi Newbie needs some advice. I want to make signs that are on wood with an image of scrapbook paper that has been super imposed on to the wood then vinyl lettering on top of it. What is this called and what kind of machine does it. I know there is a machine that does this just can not think of what it is called and who I would contact to give me prices? : Thanks Terollee

 

Sorry I knew I wasnt making sense, I would like to take a color picture and have it applied, I dont know if this is the right word, to a wooden board (MDF) then put a vinyl qoute over the top. If you have been into a scrapbook store lately there are tons of different colored papers to choose from. It almost looks like it is painted on only I think it is a heat applied process. The machine can do any colored picture and then go over again to darken colors until it is the way you want it. Does this sound familiar to any one? Terollee

 

Okay I have you all stumped! As soon as I find out the process that I am trying to get a name for I will let you know. Thanks for all your help. I understand that this machine can take a picture of a picture ,scan it ,then put the image of the picture or what ever is scaned into it and transfer it on to material, wood, poster board, etc. It is probably what alot of you guys do every day except I want to use a different meduim (wood) and scrapbook paper. I know that the scrapbook people will not know what I am talking about either. I will try and get a picture of the signs I want to make.
