I've tried this with HP9180 (Vivera) inks and it didn't; absolutely no bleeding etc. even in smallest / slightest amnt. (Fabriano 5 paper) Could be different with some other inksets, and/or papers... OTOH, the risk would be low; those inks are formulated to adhere/stay there even on glossy paper surface, and we use nice absorbent watercolor papers for alt. prints.... As for making things better, a nice profile for the paper you intend to print on would be excellent methinks.

Loris.
