  Stamper? That would be my guess. I don't know how you could DIY print on dollies without ruining your printer :-\

  I've become a big fan of rubber stamps lately.  I started doing all my wedding invites and stuff on dark blue paper, not thinking about the fact that I can't print on them.  But, rubber stamps with silver ink work amazingly well. You can get custom rubber stamps made rather cheaply (as low as $10-15, depending on size). You can buy pre-inked ones, which can be easier to use and sometimes have more distinct, flawless print, but you are much more limited in color (usually just black, red, or blue).  If you want other color choices, just get a standard, old school, rubber stamp. I've used this site (http://www.simonstamp.com/) and been happy with them.

  Another option would be to get a stencil.

  Or adhere the doily to regular printer paper. The problem here is making sure you adhere it enough to get through printer correctly, but not to much that you ruin the doily trying to get it off the paper. Here is a site that has several links to how-to from people that have done this: http://www.studiocalico.com/community/studio-chat/topics/50451-i-would-love-to-add-some-doilies-to-my-dd-has-anyone-had-luck-printing-on-them-using-your-computer-and-printer

   

  Personally, I think rubber stamp would be your easiest option.

  If you want to do menus, you can do this:

  Otherwise, I think the stamp idea is going to be best.
