Hi Gord:
There are a series of products that are made to be applied to any
surface and then fed through an inkjet printer. I haven't used them,
but an authority on these things named Dorothy Krause praises them
highly.
Of course, if the sculpter wants to use metal it must be thin, like
aluminum, but this might be the best way if she has access to a large
format Epson with pigmented inks, which can take 3mm wide substrates.
The web site is www.inkAID.com .
All the best!
