: Scott,
: Do you think that color would work in this method?
: Thanx, Steve

Dunno Steve, I agree with Paul that there are all different grades of inkjet inks. I've tried photos and text in black with both an inkjet and a laser printer and both seem to hold up fine on cheap tissue paper. Color would definately be worth investigating, as it adds a whole new realm of possiblitites. Should try it with several types of ink and/or colors and leave the test piece(s) in full sun (which we don't have here in Washington). I have an Epson printer at home and may try the ink Paul recommended (Thanks Paul). Let us know (with photos) if/when you perform a test (I will too). Before/After pictures under the same lighting will easily show fading, and who knows, maybe slight fading will look just as cool?
