Our family has wholesale balloon shop here on the property and besides selling bunches of flat balloons to retail shops we also print on them. Well the latex ones anyway. Printing on mylar is a bit of a pain.
E-mail me if you want up close and detailed shots of the screen printing machine we use. It's similar to the example link above but a little more sophisticated. (sp?) I'm sure you could fabricate one up yourself if you have the odd parts laying around. (Kinda like those guys making their own electric p-p-pounce. and I have a great resource for the sliding screens we use. They have many little details about them that make life a whole lot easier when they are built right.

In my spare time I am grabbing a minute here and 20 minutes there and working up a complete detail of the balloon screen printing process with Photos of all the working parts... in time I'll get this thing posted on my website as a How To pdf link, but for now... I'm gonna send you the prints with my hand written mock ups of the final to be posted.
What that means is you'll get this faster via snail mail than it will take me to post the final, so watch your post box.
