Did you look into silkscreening on metal? Word I got was that you need special 
paints or inks that require strong solvents to get off of the screen - and this 
winds up destroying the screen (if the screen is made with the normal gel 
stuff). It's not the same for printing onto paper or fabric. I guess real print 
places use a different kind of screen-making process for these inks / paints. 
Did you check all of this out? I'd be curious to know more. I looked into this 
myself last year, but this is as far as I got.
