Shrink Plastic

May '05 ShelleyBier

Has anyone ever printed a photo on that shrink plastic and cooked it? Did it work very well? It would seem like it would, and I think I'll give it a try. Thought I'd see if anyone had an experience with this. Thanks!

I have never done it but I have seen them do it on DIY Scrapbooking! It turned out pretty cool!

Just be sure you buy the shrink plastic made for printers (inkjet).

I bought some shrink plastic, printed on it, and shrank it to make a tag. It looked really nice, but the ink smeared off!
I thought I WAS buying the inkjet type, but the package was very misleading, and I obviously didn't!

Also be sure to print it in muted color because the colors intensify when you bake it.

Haven't printed photos, but have done some very detailed stamps that came out great. Agree with disneylisa, the colors REALLY intensify when it shrinks. I had used some very soft watercolor markers that were kinda of hard to see until baked.
