Inkjet Printing on Chipboard!   (11 comments, 542 views) Monday, 25 June 2007
Pretty cool, huh?

No, I didn't send it through my printer because they're too thick for mine also.  So what did I do?

Directions for Printing onto Chipboard.

Type your words and print them out on regular inkjet paper.

Carefully pry the top layer of shiny paper off the top of the letter. Once you get it started, it peels right off.

Use removable tape runner, adhere the thin letter top to the inkjet paper. Wipe with your Perfect Printing Pouch to limit smearing and speed drying on the shiny letter surface. Send back through the printer to print onto the letter.

Let dry. Remove from the paper.  Glue the printed letter top to the chipboard letter base.  No one will ever know you didn't send the whole thing through!

On wach of the letters above, the left side was not treated and the right sides were. I did this so you could compare the printing and see how effective the Perfect Printing pouch is.

I did the same thing on regular puzzle pieces--'course they're not acid-free but they are $-free!altered_puzzle_pieces_72_320
