DIY question

Hi everyone!
I was wondering, if you use a ink jet computer printer to print out invites, programs, menus, etc. Doesn't the ink run if it gets wet? If so how do most people go about DIY projects?

Thanks
Kel

i have an inkjet printer at home.

i only had two problems in doing almost everything at home.

1) the background i wanted for my invite was too 'color saturated' and it made the paper curly... decided to go with a printing center for that.

2) there were some lables that were going to be thrown out at work, so i thought i'd use them. they ran. it was only laser compatible... just asked for permission to print ONLY those at work

EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN OK

ETA: you ALWAYS want to try a sample, just in case

Thanks so much!
I am getting a real DIY bug in me.
Definitely making the STD's, Menus, and bridal shower thank yous,but I don't know about invites yet.
