Question 1

with what kinda printer i can use in those paper? Inject or Laser?

Accepted Answer

I use an inkjet printer, sand to prep according to the directions, then make sure you leave plenty of time for drying and put it in a safe place that it won't be touched.

Question 2

Can you color these?  Like kids shrinky dinks?

Accepted Answer

Yes they are essentially the same as Shrinky Dinks.A few tips. Most importantly, use a fine grain sandpaper and go over the sheet in an X pattern. This is what allows the coloring to "stick" and gives traction. I personally use magic marker for the outlines bc they go super dark once baked. Allow the ink to dry before continuing with baking or coloring. It may lighten up but there is no need to re-apply. because of this process of waiting I use colored pencils to do the shading. If you want a lighter color, be sure to go very lightly on the application. This may take practice to find the right pressure. Lastly, using an exacto-knife opens up some great detail. I made an 8-bit black mage from Final Fantasy, which involved all right angles, and scissors would not have given the amount of controll needed. I hope this has been a useful answer to your question, and have fun!

Question 3

Can you print your own design onto these sheets and then proceed with the heating directions?

Accepted Answer

If by "printing" you mean using a (computer) printer, the product that is pictured here as I am currently answering this question is NOT suitable. You need to look for the product specifically marked for "inkjet printing."Otherwise, you can use permanent markers, paint markers, colored pencils, chalks... I've even used watercolors. Note that some colorants will require that the surface be prepped by lightly sanding.

Question 4

Can kids color with color pencils and crayons on this paper?

Accepted Answer

Drawings made with colored pencils and crayons will melt in the oven
