In fact, this is what *I* do. Several of my books consist of cyanotypes
which I ran through an inkjet printer to print the text. Liquid light works
well, too. In another, I laid out the page in Quark, including the image,
and printed the whole thing onto a laser transparency (reversed,
obviously), which I then used as a neg to print the entire page as a
cyanotype. I'm working on another, similar project using gum.

You can see my very latest work (a book of "giclée" prints) in a group
exhibition at Chéry Art in Old Montréal, beginning July 28th.
