Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This generic brand of the classic Shrinky Dink is a great product, especially since the new version of Shrinky Dink material is of a lesser quality and does not produce good results. 1) I found that the plastic sheets feed thru my Epson Artisan 830 without a problem. I set my print settings to print on Glossy Photo Paper. With normal quality. The print was very clear. 2) The Images should be lightened by about 50% since upon shrinking the colors with become very intense and possibly different than what you have printed. I also let the printed film set for a few hours to dry completely before cutting and backing. 3) I set my Oven to 325 Degrees F. and baked my designs for 3 to 4 minutes on a piece of Parchment Paper on top of a metal backing pan. I watched to make sure that the designs I had created had settled almost completely flat before removing them from the oven, Note: Don't wait too long to remove them from the Oven or they may start to burn. Upon removing, I pressed the pieces completely flat with a spatula then after 1 minute I flipped them and pressed them flat again and let them sit for 3 minutes before removing to cool completely. 4) This film will not shrink up to be completely smooth. However it will have a slightly rough texture which I did not mind. The designs should be sealed with an Inkjet Sealant like PremierArt Print Shield Spray 400mL so that they don’t smear when wet. If you wish your designs to have a more smooth texture then I would follow this sealant with something like the Krylon 12-Ounce Triple Thick Clear Glaze Aerosol Spray Product. This works very well. I placed three coats of this sealant on my designs and they came out relatively smooth and a little shiny. I gave this product 5 stars and have now purchased them again. I have also purchased the clear inkjet product in the hopes of making some sun catchers. Please let me know how I am doing by voting “YES” if you think that my review helped you.
