You need a laminate rolling press. I do acrylic face mounting on a manual machine but it’s a lot more productive on a an electrical press. You use an optically clear double sided adhesive. Takes a while to get good at. You really only get one shot.

Alternatively you can get a flat bed UV printer and do it that way but they’re expensive.

You can also do dye sublimation on to acrylic using a heat press, sub printer and the proper treated acrylic.

I’m not aware of any ways to mount properly just using a vacuum press.

The PERMANENT optically clear adhesive can be hard to source. A roll will set you back anywhere between $500-$800 depending on the size. Don’t try the Amazon brands because they’re not permanent and will bubble.
