Thanks for any advice you can give. |
I have not been able to use watercolors on printouts from my injket printer. In my testing, it didn't matter what kind of cardstock or watercolor paper, and heat setting didn't help. The ink always smeared, and I don't know of a waterproof ink cartridge that fits my printer.
There is a spray inkjet fixative available in the UK. I haven't tried to track it down in the U.S. because I doubt that watercolors would work well over sealed paper.
What did work well was to print on a laser printer using 90# hot press artist-grade watercolor paper. The watercolors worked great on that.
