Marti,
You can print on Gampi. I shrink before printing and attach the tissue temporarily to an ordinary sheet of printer paper with a light spray of 3M 77. I release the tissue with Ronsonol lighter fluid. The main hazard is fire. When weather permits, I go outside to release the tissue from the backing sheet. Some folks advocate "Silk Tissue". It must be similar to Gampi.
I don't yet know the answers to the other questions but I am also interested in ink-jet printing onto tissue.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84771 is a link on RCGroups about tissue printing. There is also an old INAV article by Steve Gardner that is very good.

A few questions about inkjet printed tissue.
- Some folks recommend covering with tissue by applying glue stick to
the frame, letting it dry, then placing the tissue over it and
applying alcohol to re-activate the adhesive. Does this work with
ink-jet printed tissue? I'm wondering whether the ink creates a
barrier to the alcohol or whether the alcohol will cause the ink to
run?
- to avoid warped frames many recommend shrinking or wrinkling the
tissue before covering. Should you do this before or after printing?
- Since shrinking or crumpling up the paper results in the image
paper shrinking do you print oversize? enlarge the image, and if you
enlarge the image, by how much?
- Can you print on Gampi?
= What's the preferred type of tissue to print on?
Thanks a bunch.
