If I use a different ink, can I use this screen kit to print designs on paper? I did silkscreen as a kid and I loved it, your advice is appreciated th

I believe so. I bought this for my daughter's Christmas gift and we haven't use it yet but I did do silkscreening as a kid and we used the same screens to print on fabric as well as paper. We used different ink for both materials.

If your printer actually uses Gray ink then there's a position in the ink cartridge holder for it. If your printer doesn't use Gray ink then you can't make any good use of it. I rather suspect the other ink cartridges may actually all be used in some models so if sets are sold specifically for those printers then there would be no gray in the "kit". However, it's not unknown for bigger packaged sets, including the Gray, to actually cost less than the smaller sets intended for those printers. Just be careful to buy only cartridges that will work in the printer you have.

There are 2 ink tanks. One is black and the other is color. If the black is empty the colors print funny. And if the color is empty, the black prints faded looking. So the answer is, yes it will work, but it won't look very good.

I own this ink kit (used it for baby book prints) and I saw the baseball project on Pintrest for Fathers Day and plan on doing it too! Based on my experience with baby book the ink doesn't appear to smudge after it sets and was pretty easy to use (assuming your baby will hold still for a few moments!), and also very easy to clean off the baby. So I do feel that this will work with the baseball project. Good Luck!

We used these crayons directly on fabric, though you could use transfer paper and then iron your design onto fabric. The problem with that is the "mirror effect" -- any text must be written in reverse so that the transfer makes the correct image onto the fabric.

Yes I have used both inkjet and a laser printer on the color wonder paper. It works well with both. You will want to allow a little time for it to dry after you print.

Yes you can use just the ink cartridge. I hope that tells you what you needed to know.

This is just the tools you need to make paper. You also need an old blender. You put old paper in the blender with water and blend it to a pulp. Then poor it into a rubber made tub. Next you dip the screen(hand mold) into the pulp and the paper pulp comes with it. The you carefully dump it out. It takes some practice but works really well. You may need to add extra water to your tub to distribute the paper pulp more evenly. You dont want a super thick paper in most cases. You can add sparkles or dried flowers and herbs to make really beautiful paper. One kit should be ok for multiple children. If you have alot of paper to dry put a sheet in a sunny place and dump your paper on it to dry. You can also add liquid starch to your tub to improve the quality of the paper if its to be written on.

The screen itself can be used on any color, it's the paint/ink that comes in the box that's designed to pop against dark fabrics. You could certainly use the paints on light fabrics too, the colors are bold, but not the other way around - if you use regular colored inks on dark fabric it won't show as well.

No, you can't use this paper for inkjet printers. This paper is for laser printers that use toner, not ink.

Won't do it. You have to replace the color ink and then it will work till the black runs out. Then replace the black etc. This seems to be a problem to some people but no big issue to me. I can deal with that small issued knowing my prints are waterproof and the ink is a lot cheaper than most.

I recommend aluminum frame and the silk mesh depends on what type of ink u plan to use. Wood frame works also but tends to warp over time if low quality wood is used.

Maybe. Firstly, many inkjet printers are designed for home use, so they don't accept paper larger than 8 1/2 x 11 in the tray. These are 12 x 12 sheets. You can cut it down, but rough or uneven edges is asking for a printer jam. Second, you'll have to make sure your printer can accept cardstock, because this is twice as thick as regular printer paper, and sending stuff that's too heavy for a printer to handle can seriously damage it. And last, but not least, this plastic is completely slick on both sides. Ink may not transfer or hold very well on it. All in all, I would suggest you look at finding some 8 1/2 x 11 transparency film like the kind they (used to) sell for overhead projectors before considering this as an option. A lot of those are specifically designed for inkjets.

Should be able to...the paper is not coated so both sides would give the same print quality. I use this to print a draft copy before using a more costly coated sheet ($0.02 vs $0.45 a sheet).

Not unless you have a white ink cartridge. Inkjet printers "print" white by simply not laying down any ink at all based on the assumption that the paper being printed on is white. You'd have to replace the black ink cartridge with a white one and set the font color to black for this to work.

The ink will not run on this paper. I use a standard Kodak inkjet printer and it holds the ink perfectly. I hope this helps. For contrast I recommend printing in bold dark colors.

I wouldn't know for sure, but if there is a converter/adapter available I should think that would work. It's a nice machine. My son has used it for many screen print projects. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
