[accessibleimage] Re: Fwd: Tactile Graphics - Assistance Needed

Hello:
I would suggest contacting Repro-Tronics with this question. I may be wrong, but if your ink is smearing, maybe the formulation for this printer has changed from HP's usual ink. 

Regards,

Greetings All,
Sorry for the cross-posting....
I have a Tactile Image Enhancer (TIE) and use "Flexi-Paper" - not to be confused with the special puff paper that one uses with the P.I.A.F (Pictures in a Flash). The packaging for the FlexiPaper states that it will work with HP Inkjet printers. I just did a test with a graphic - I printed it on HP 6620 Deskjet and it did not work. The ink never really dried on the paper, and when I put it through the TIE, it smeared and did not "puff up". A couple of questions: 

1.  Is there a difference between Deskjet and Inkjet printers?
2. Are folks successful printing their images on FlexiPaper designed for the TIE on inkjet (or deskjet) printers and having that image puff up when run through the TIE? If so, what model inkjet/deskjet are you using? I cannot get the image onto the FlexiPaper using either my laser printer or our copy machine because they simply get too hot and jam. 

Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
