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!
