Oh I didnt cAtch the inkjet part, yeah I don't know of any ink that can be used in a kiln.  The laser ones work because black toner is a plastic powder colored with Fe3O4.  In the kiln the plastic burns out leaving only the faint oxide layer.  It turns back to Fe2O3 which is red iron oxide when heated in the presence of oxygen.

Inkjet printers use a tiny film to print onto paper so I dont know if it would even be possible to print oxides in ink. 

 

I have used inkjet decal papers with great success in the past, but no one seems to sell them anymore, all laser printer decal paper now, and not that easy to find Canon or HP laser printers that only print in black and white.  They seem to be the only ones that have the right kind of toner that allows the ink to melt into the glaze at cone 04.  (The toner in colour printers doesn't have enough iron in it.)  Used to get them through DecalPapers.com, but that website is closed now.  Has anyone had any success using laser printers that are not HP or Canon?

Lots of waterslide decal paper on Amazon and AliExpress

So far, I've only found inkjet decals that are not for firing on, and fired decals that are only for laser printers.   For the latter, only black and white printers, and only Canon or HP printers can be used.  Anybody else tried other printers, or tried firing the non-fire inkjet ones?

Just inquiring about the whole inkjet fired on decals, wondering if anyone has found a supplier in 
Canada?  I've used these decals before and they work SO well, I would really love to find a supplier that's not involved with the patent conflict.  So sad that DecalPaper.com is no longer available.
