This is a simplified version of a question I asked earlier. I recently bought a 2200 and I'm enjoying its ability to print on a wide variety of media. So far I've printed on brown paper (bag) paper, artist's watercolor paper (Canson 140# cold press), and gesso'd canvas. Last night I printed on a brown, toothed paper I use for pastels and then applied pastels afterwards. It looked really nice and I think my figure photography done using this technique might be salable. THE QUESTION: some people on another forum (Photo.Net) have warned that printing on oddball media might damage the print heads. They offered no basis for ecxpet speculation. I did extensive Google searches on phrases like "print head damage", "damage your print heads", etc, etc, and the only hits I got had to do with using 3rd-party inks - nothing about the media. How do I assess the risks of damaging my print heads using oddball media?
