you can do anything if you put your mind to it....

i say.... put the sheet of rice over a regular copy sheet.. like tape it at corner or edges slightly... and then use thin line weights (or a thin font/text/type)

and print.....

experiment...

i use to love eating that stuff as a kid.

you could screen print with edible ink if you only had a few to do.

how big a run do you want?

I've seen this done before on an inkjet printer. As nerdy says, use a regular piece of paper underneath the rice paper so it feeds correctly. I would be careful experimenting with a laser printer though because the heat from the printing process might melt/tear the rice paper and jam the printer.

i have about 10 pages to print. screen print is proving too expense. i think inkjet might be the best option in this case then.

thanks for the suggestions folks.

before beginning my experiments, i like to learn from other peoples' experiments.

does the final product have to be edible or you just like the texture of the edible rice paper because normal printer ink is toxic.

ideally i would like it to be edible. so i can do a live demonstration. but thats adding a new layer of constraints (which is not entirely necessary for this project). if i can first get text to print on the paper, then i may try going for edible ink.
but thanks for the tip
