Vaessen Creative 1611-002 Printable Shrink Plastic for Inkjet Printers, Transparent, 5 Sheets, 21 x 30 cm, Directly Print Custom Designs for Fun Shrinky Arts and Crafts Projects

I was quite pleased with this inkjet shrink plastic. I have used other makes of this before but I felt this one was superior when I used it, for one particular reason. It appears to shrink by the same amount both horizontally & vertically, which is an advantage.These inkjet sheets can be difficult & these are the tips I use.To work out the size things will shrink to because each make is different, I take a slim strip (a slim right angle) from the bottom corner of the sheet. I then mark off using a ruler the horizontal & vertical axis. Then I shrink that & I therefore have a gauge to work with.I have found, previously, that if you put a sheet of shrinkjet on top of paper when the printer pulls the sheet through, often it slips & the paper comes through instead. To combat this I remove the paper altogether & just put the inkjet paper in the drawer, then it seems to work fine.Finally colour saturation. On this occasion I didn't mess at all with the colours & the end result was fine for what I wanted. I was shrinking photos to about 3cm or less as a final size. However because the end result is so small it is difficult to see the detail & therefore the colour variation is less evident. Although a very dark photo should either be lightened or probably even better choose a different photo if possible.These sheets are slightly more expensive than other makes but I would use them again if accuracy of size is key.

Ive ordered so many times from this brand but this time the paper was glossy rather than matte, Despite it saying it works with an inkjet printer the ink just sits on top of the paper and doesnt dry even after left for over 48 hours! very upset, total waste of money!

Easy to use in printer.Shrinks down to about 25%.. careful not to overheat and cause brittleness. Colour change but could be adjusted in editing to compensate. Would buy again.

Keep in mind that the colors printed look darker than expected.

I was hesitant to buy for the price and the mix of reviews. I have a Canon Pixma printer but the lower end one and I didn't know how well it would work.It worked perfectly. Printed great, shrunk super easy. They were a little smaller than the packet stated they would be but I was easily able to adjust the next page so that they came out the size I wanted, so I would recommend doing a test page, not printing off in bulk until you get the hang of it.I reduced the opacity to around 50%, 40% for some of my designs that were a little brighter. I made them about 2.5 inches and they shrunk to about 1 inch.Had them in for 2 mins on 170c.Very pleased.

I use to use this product all the time but this week I have brought two packs and both packs have been shocking. The product has changed the ink sits on top of the paper and smudges even after leaving over night! I managed to cut one out and shrunk it and it was all smooth and shiny and faded ink compared to the dark image and rough texture it’s ment to turn into when shrunk. Wasted £40 on this this week trying to get orders completed. I will not be buying again.

Ink just pools and doesn't dry at all looks cracked, smooth on both sides didn't matter what printer settings I used very disappointed

Decent, prints well. Takes some effort to get the colours correct, they get so much darker when baked.Ends up with a more rouhy, jagged edge after baking that I'm not used to seeing with other brands and I dislike that. This could be sanded away of course.
