- Printable on INKJET only! Printable laser shrink plastic does not exist! Laser printer uses heat to lay the ink down. And shrink plastic shrinks with heat....so you can imagine what could happens if you try to use laser printer.
Printer I use: canon pixma TS6220
Here’s a video on how to print on shrink plastic:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...

Why do I use two different types of resin in my projects?
I use a casting resin to cast and a doming resin for doming.
Casting resin is usually low in viscosity and works very well in molds without much issue with the bubbles. Also the low viscosity will allow the resin to reach detailed area of the mold. Doming resin is thick in viscosity and holds its shape very nicely. It creates a full dome and tends to hold the surface tension much better than low viscosity resin. So lower risk of the resin dripping off the sides. It also gives the piece a smooth, flawless finish.

Thank you for the review. The next time I buy printable shrink film I will purchase this brand.
Thanks for the recommendation and tips. Really cool cat clock.
I’ve found that printable shrink plastic seems to have vanished into thin air for no reason in the UK now! No idea what’s going on!
trying to find a reliable brand has been so difficult
hi Amy! i love your videos. I just want to thank you for the clear, concise videos, beautiful organized, clean setup, and editing, it's very inspiring, helpful, and motivating for someone like me who loves little crafts like this! ☺️ your videos are awesome!
Wow! thank you for such a sweet and encouraging comment! ☺️😍
So helpful!! I have been nervous to try the printable shrink plastics and this video helps give me direction for my decision! 💖💖💖
you are so amazing Im studying about shrink these days with you Thank you so much!
Wow!!! Loved the vid :) I been wanting to buy printable shrink paper but been unsure which brand because of I’m afraid that it might smudge
I love your work and your videos. It’s all so darn good. 🥺💕
Love the cat charms they would be adorable resized to fit some tiny watch faces in so they actually worked but I could never pull that off but I know you could do it with perfection. I love your eye for detail and the way u make things with entry tiny detail thought of and handled. Watching your videos makes my ocd so happy lol
I've used this before but it came in a bag that had matte and clear. I hate the matte, but the clear was beautiful.
Do you mean clear and white? Because all printables have a matte side for printing
@@AmyMade yes, that's what I meant. I also had trouble. I let mine dry after printing, but when I applied the clear coat it smeared. So glad to see you used a non-water base and it worked to seal it.
Aww this is so cute 🥰
Nice! I've only used sihouette brand shrink plastic and it has some similarities with the one in the video. The ink lifts easily so i've been trying different varnishes with no luck, i'll try the one you used ❤
Amazingly helpful!!💜
What kind of printers are good for printing shrink film?? Any inkjet?
How much tinier was the shrunken version on this paper compared to how it was at first(like was it 1/3, 1/5) etc
Sorry, I don’t really know.
@@AmyMade it’s okiii dw ^^
HI! This video is really helpful!but I have a question, I was using a shrink plastic with Canva, with a 50-50 color correction (50 contrast, 50 saturation and 50 transparency) but for this shrink plastic these changes are not good, I did several tests but I can't find the right calibration, you what meadvice?
How did u cut it?
Hi, I was curious as to how you got your printer to take the sheets. I have the clear printable version and my printer just isnt having it.
which printer do you have?
Terrific video. Clear, honest explanations. Darling, professional results, too!
Awesome! May I ask, what setting did you print them in?
These look really wonderful! I can't print these at home, so if I take these to a print shop, how long would you say I should wait before handling them into an envelope to take home?
I wouldn’t put it in an envelope at all just to be on the safe side
Ahh the felix the cat clock is super cute!! I have one in my room. I hope you sell those. 😩
It’s not Felix the cat 😆
@@AmyMade it looks just like a kit cat clock which was inspired by the vintage felix the cat design... 🤔 but yeah I know it's not felix the cat.
It is inspired by the Kit Kat clock!
I can’t get my printer to work with shrink film. What printer do u use?
I loved your tutorial and am super excited to try this brand of shrink plastic! It arrived and will only print the first 1/5 of the paper then stop 😮. I am able to print the entire page of images on regular copy paper but each time I try the shrink plastic sheet is stops after only printing a small portion of the page. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
Also - where did you find the adorable cat click graphic? Love it!!!!
Thanks! I have no idea what’s wrong with your printer. I’ve had no issue like that with mine. Also the cat clock is my own image I drew digitally!
Hii! Can u pls share how u film ur videoooos!!! What lighting u use and camera!!
Love the review! I’ve been looking for a cheaper shrink plastic!
Did you use any specific settings or just print your photo as usual?
I purchased this brand of shrink plastic after seeing your video and after shrinking it just didn't shrink evenly like yours did in the video. 😢 In fact, for me the grafix brand shrinks a lot more evenly but I love the clear finish of the Auihiay semitransparent compared to the grafix. Please do you (or anyone) have any tips? My projects usually are square or rectangular in shape, but after baking they are always warped to one side more like a rhombus.
I found that each batch they produce can vary with the shrink evenness. Grafix is definitely has been the most consistent out of all but not always. This is why I always test each new batch and of plastic I get
Where does someone look to get two piece stamp set or whatever u use to make the cat and tail?? I can’t find anywhere.. and dunno what to really search for.. plz help:) Ty! Ur work is so nice!! I love them!
This is my digital artwork so you won’t find it anywhere
What type of printer ter do you use
what ink did you use
so did you end up using both the spray and resin for the finished product in this vid? or only the spray?
Both
Already sold out on Amazon 😭
I have never used shrink paper but would like to try this to make name tags for my aunt’s MANY cats’ collars. How many do you think I can make with this 12 pack? What is the difference in how your piece looks using the white versus the transparent paper? Do you have any advice as to how I should make these tags? I plan to use my inkjet printer and not draw or trace. Thank you!
You can make a lot of small sized tags. The white shrink plastic would be more vibrant compared to the transparent one. I actually made a video on making pet tags but using the cricut. Check it out if you’re interested!
Hey Amy. What kind of printer do you use for it?
I love this cat clock . Do you sell this file ( I plan to use it in my dollhouse project)
Thank you! I have never sold the file
Can I use cutting machine for cutting?
Yes you can
Question to make it as shiny as your end product was that resin or the spray?
Uv resin!
Any recommendations on color adjustments? My designs always get so dark 😭
Always decrease the lightness or opacity
hello, what type of ink do you use in your printer? is it dye or pigment ink? thank you
Lol I don’t know😆. Whatever ink compatible with canon inkjet printers
How do you cut them? Cricut or scissors? Thanks.
I did it by hand but you can also use a cricut
As I don't have an oven for shrink plastic, can a heat gun be used please ?
Yes you can
@@AmyMade thanks will try
Nice video, Do you think it will smear if I just apply UV Resin without spray coating? or Do I have to spray it first before uv resin?
It won’t smear.
@@AmyMade Thanks, I use the grafix brand printable and love it but I'm very interested in this brand because from the looks of it distortion doesn't seem to be an issue. Do you still print your images in a horizontal orientation? Just wondering if it matters with this brand....Also with the grafix printable shrink film, I use a rotary tool with the sand paper attachment to quickly remove the ragged edges and it does a good job!
@@PhotographyChick17 I print it in portrait and adjust the image accordingly to accommodate for the shrinking. Grafix shrink plastic is really good but if I could skip the step of getting rid of those teeth, I’m all for this version. Also because the surface is smooth, I don’t have to apply thin layer of resin for micro bubble management.
So far I really love this brand.How do you finish the back? I want to make pins, croc charms and stud earrings but my normal process doesn't work too well for this brand because the resin doesn't stick to the plastic backing. I even tried sanding the back and painting with paint markers.
With grafix brand I normal place my pin, post or croc charms to the back with e6000 and then I would resin the whole back.....I really do love the fact that I can just resin the front for some projects because the back is waterproof.
PSA: $30 for 25 sheets. Don't be discouraged by the price. If you sell on etsy, just raise your prices of your finished product. Don't forget that inflation exists, minimum wages are up, start charging more for your goods to keep up with the economy. People CAN afford your items regardless of prices going up.
