Can you use an inkjet printer to print on to the back of frisket masking without it running?

You can use acetate in inkjets... {Never tried Frisket}

I've used acetate to print out large, contact negatives for photo processing {they print a little grainy unless you hold them above the paper during exposure.} ... :} If you used something light sensitive with the transparencies you could get pretty accurate results.





On the other hand... you could just get out a knife and go to it.Can you use an inkjet printer to print on to the back of frisket masking without it running?
I use my inkjet to make transparencies on acetate sheets. The backing on frisket is probably the same, or similar material.





I can only assume that you will be creating a stencil, so, as long as you let the ink dry, you shouldn't have any problem with the ink running or smearing. If anything, it may flake off a bit, but you won't be using it anymore, after cutting the stencil, so you should be all right.Can you use an inkjet printer to print on to the back of frisket masking without it running?
Yes but it takes ages to dry and can still smudge even after a day on the boiler.


acetate can only be used with laser [toner] printers i think
You don't say where the frisket is. I am thinking on paper. Is it permanent or to be removed at a later stage. If the latter, then anything printed onto it, will be removed too.





I don't think it'll do your inkjet printer much good. Without knowing what you want to achieve - how about doing the next layer and printing it onto iron on transfer paper. (T-shirt paper), available from computer shops, and then ironing over the image. Then again, heat melts frisket, which is afterall a rubber.
