Al is high conductive metal, so the heater current will flow in it. 1st you should oxidize the Al surface, 2nd you can deposit the heating element on the oxide surface. Screen printing is best method for such purpose.
I suggest you to have a look at the Datec web site.
As said at this source, Datec is leading the industry with the unique ability to print heating elements directly onto aluminum, offering a seamless fit into a wide-range of product footprints and a thin, low-profile design. IntegrAL® heating technology produces fast, precise, uniform, and integrated heat to meet the demand for performance, reliability, and energy efficiency.
