Has anyone ever tried this? I'd like to print onto something thin like veneer.

Screen printing is probably the best way to go.

Definitely not using an inkjet. I thought about possibly laser etching the wood, but I'm unsure of what thickness veneer would be needed.
Has anyone seen any good paper techniques to mimic wood? I saw a piece once produced on Touche which was embossed and printed to look like cork. It felt and looked very real.

BonSeff and MrDobolina have done this with great success.

Not really what I'm looking for, but thanks. I need to do a large volume print run on something much smaller.

ask your printers if they have a large flatbed printer. i used to work for a sign company that has a durst rho. its pretty cool, they printed onto whole door as a sample, running the whole thing through it. it can also print white ink so the colours come out well with a white print underneath. if youre printing a good volume, that may be the way to go.
