For another approach to altered book - photo transfer - Try this special
paper (Heavy Duty Studio paper) designed for Ink Jet transfer.
You can reuse the paper - and can get several transfers to one sheet (just
by putting the new image at a different location on the paper). You do have
to work quickly though and transfer the image right away.

Studio Paper 10 sheets - 8 1/2" x 11" - $3.00
These would work GREAT for monoprints too!
This is what Kris Fontes (Art Education list AB RR Group) has to say about
it:
I purchased the Studio Paper online and used it in the Altered Book RR I am
participating in. It is really great! I used a photo of my daughter and it
printed exactly like a high quality stamp. And of course the bonus is that
it can be reused.
