Transfer print picture to dupioni to needlepaint/silk shading over top.
I have a full colour digital photograph that I want to transfer to dupioni (dark blue) so that I can stitch overtop like Trish Burr's work. I would appreciate if you could also recommend brands of printers/printer ink.

Printers ink vary all over the place, but we don't manufacture any. I would certainly do a test with any ink on a piece like that. Generally our products that use printer ink (water soluble stabilizers), dissolve away with the product when done and only the embroidery remains. With those products we recommend a draft (lightest) setting. So intense ink use, like I think you are suggesting, would need to be tested by brand. I would suggest asking Trish what she would use in this case.
