Hi Kent,
I suspect the ink in your printer is water based ink, that would not flow out as you would hope. I think a solvent based ink would be needed for printing on metals and even plastics. If you ever tried to print on transparencies that are not for ink jets, you get the same problem.
So I don't think an ordinary ink-jet printer would work, but I think the concept would.
The only inkjet that would work is an EPSON with the Dye Sub ink kit added. Those inks when heated are water proof!
