Hello everyone, I need some help: What pre-treatments can I use for inkjet printing, what's cheap, and what's easy to get?
I'm looking to print on various plastics using an inkjet printer. As of right now, I print prototypes on inkjet transparencies, (has the sticky solution which binds the inkjet material to the substrate), which are then UV coated using my coater. The result is fantastic, however I want to start printing on tons of different substrates. What is the coating they put on these plastics to make them inkjet compatible? Furthermore, is there a cheap readily-available solution? I've heard krylon acrylic matte spraypaint works:

Any thoughts? I don't want to spray a piece of plastic and then have it jam my print heads.
