Just wondering, I had the idea of printing some sexy pictures on balloons, but ordering that anywhere is out of the question for obvious reasons. Is there a way to do this at home?
Is it possible to print on balloons at home?

Home balloon printing kits are not hard to find. For instance, https://www.balloon-printing.com/scr...nting-kit.html
Most of the difficulty is in creating the mask for the silk-screen.Comment

As an alternative, it's very easy to create stencils and then trace them onto partially inflated balloons with sharpies. Cutting them out of paper takes a bit of patience but works well enough; if you own or have access to a 3D printer you can print one for higher quality/detail.Comment

Get some Burman Liquid latex and black colorant. Mix 3:2 with a few drops of ammonia. For example, inflate a 17" balloon to 7". Wipe it down to remove all the talc. Use a Q-Tip and paint your own. Lay it on thick.....sometimes requiring more than one coat. Once dry.....talc and enjoy. I've done paddles and they don't require pre-inflation....but, many coats in order to maintain print density.Comment
