Anyone ever tried to actually PRINT on these instead of just a transfer?

Commercially, they are printed on automated flat stock printers. You should confirm, but I believe that they are generally some sort of vinyl, so there are vinyl inks available. TW and Nazdar should both have water based inks. (the older solvent based ones were real mothers that required the wearing of filter masks!)

FILTER MASKS?? I love the smell of solvent inks.

Back in the day they used it occasionally for binders in a shop in which I worked. The vinyl stuff was not anything like your usual solvent based inks, in that it had its own really, really, really funky solvent.
I think that it actually "welded" itself a bit to the vinyl for durability.
