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!
