Steve,
I used Cinphi System's refills from "www.cinphi.com" for HP 722C printer. I worried that it might weep and I was ready to take it off and wipe off the residue ink but it turned out OK. So far. The ink made the thin paper slightly wrinkle but I have it sealed under three coats of epoxy but I haven't sanded it yet. I was going to try rice paper but couldn't find any.
