A book artist I know used a dye-sublimation printer to print on sheets
of lead. I believe it was a Tektronix make. Yes, the sheets must be
thin and the printer must have a direct feed, not a circular (or
cresent) path.

        Subject: images on metal
        
        

        Hi:
        
        I got an offlist request for information about putting
photographic images
        on metal. This is from a sculptor who wants to put images
onto a flat
        bronze (or steel) surface.
        
        She is considering liquid light, I suggested silk-screening.
I am
        wondering if anyone has tried anything else? She doesn't want
to etch it.
        
        Thanks,
        
        Gord
