I tried this and ended up getting super frustrated. I found this company online called plakthat.com that did a much better job.

can you use an inkjet printer or does it need to be laser?

Hi, I think the author is trying to say that inkjet ink will run, making the image fuzzy/unclear. (that's what I gathered from similar instructables, atleast)
So depending on the type of image and intended result it might work, but laser printed is definitely better.

Inkjet printers use liquid ink sprayed through microscopic nozzles onto the paper and absorbed by the paper. Laser printers use a toner cartridge (filled with fine powder) and a heated fuser which fuses the toner to the paper (not absorbed).

Hi, it has to be a laser, 'cause the ink of the inkjets can easily spread away (not sure how to tell it)

This is a good technique. I wanted to mention another material that people don't seem to be aware of - Acrylic wood finish. (aka "polycrylic", "water-soluble poly", etc.) It's basically the same technique as above, but the acrylic finish may allow for cleaner results.

this looks a lot like this instructable but the sponge idea is a lot better than using your own finger, love the work!
