In a recent exploration of the archives there was a
manufacturer of PAS paper that was promoted as transfer,
decal paper.

Why not get decal paper and try to run it through the printer? Thinner
than canvas. Or why use canvas if you're going to do in effect a
monoprint, why not use paper that you soak from behind to transfer.
Just a thought. Haven't tried it but it's on my "to try" list and just
bumped up a few notched.
I think the name of the tiedye pen is - bad spelling alert - a
"tjantjing" pen (please don't hate this American girl, Indonesian
friends) or batik pen. I got mine at Pearl art supply co., very cheap.
Gotta get off this computer out of my jammies and to work!

The final act for us in this would be to have computers that printed in
glaze colours onto decal paper. Yes, transfer paper, decal paper will go
through most machines.
All that is needed is glaze colour printer. Now, just where is that good
entrepreneur who doesn't want to just hit the high end of the market?
