Has anyone tried this?
Say if it is not possible to print to a paper, i was thinking .. is it possible to use iron transfer sheets, you know the ones that you lay on a tee and then transfer the print by ironing it, but to do this on paper instead of textile?
any thoughts?

I've used iron on transfers before when screen printing wasn't practical or available. It can be tricky to get a complete transer, and you lose a lot of color saturation. Besure to cut out the image precisely to avoid having a halo of the transfer paper.

good advice there Jager. I'll keep that in mind.
Colors always lose saturation when ironed, so i was thinking using monochrome shades only.

I tried to transfer to a shirt before and the image wore off almost immediatly. Maybe I got the wrong kind or didn't do it properly.

I have been experimenting with it lately. I will give you a complete run-down very soon.

oh well cheers danthon,
but i only have an inkjet here, and i got a stack of these iron-transfers left so i thought this could be an option.
