I have left over paper from my B&W class and i was thinking about printing some photos off the computer onto the paper. Has anyone ever done it? Im scared the emulsion will fuckk up the print heads but i dunno. Google hasn't been much help

no like photo paper for film. Its hard to explain. its like you project the negative onto the paper and that exposes it to the paper. then you develop the paper and shit. different kind of paper lol.

it shouldn't mess up the printer. the emulsion probably wouldn't come off. but it is possible that something could get messed up.

just to be safe, try it on a shitty printer first if you can.

I don't think it would matter because your not putting it in developer. Yeah the emulsion will get exposed but whats that matter it wont change color yet.

it wont work, cause all the paper will become exposed i do photog at school and some cunt left my paper out of the packet cause its in a special black bag so light cant enter the packet but yeah it got all exposed and i went to print and it didnt work lol so youd have to be in a dark room if it were to work.
