Nothing could be further from the truth. Inkjet inks are excellent at
blocking UV, but can be completely transparent to infrared. If i want
a cheap IR filter, i just print a black area onto transparency with
an epson stylus 400 colour. Note that only a few inkjet printers give
good results printing onto transparency.
