OK - this is a totally theoretical question, since I've never actually made paper (though I'm interested in trying someday) and I don't have a decent printer to try this with. But... I'm curious if anyone has ever tried printing an image on homemade paper with their inkjet? I realize there are some specialty art papers made specifically for inkjets that have a rough surface, etc., but it seems like homemade paper would make digital art unique for each printing. Of course, there's the whole (BIG) question of calibrating the ink & paper to match what's on the screen, so my idea might not even be feasible if each sheet is different.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this - and if so, what the results were?
