Think Inkjet - Unleash Your Imagination
Niall Roche
Add unlimited dimension to creative crafts with your
computer, inkjet printer and specialized media.
Inkjet printing opens the door to thousands of
colors. Why print them all on white paper? If you
can think it… you can inkjet!
Unleash your imagination. Specialty papers are just
the beginning of endless media alternatives to
standard printer paper. High-resolution photo papers
in glossy and matte finishes transform family photos
into enduring memories. Parchment and confetti
papers add elegance and personalization to text
printing, making treasured gifts and display items
out of your favorite writings and adding warmth and
cordiality to your invitations and greeting cards.
As wonderful as these papers are, they are only the
beginning of what you can do with a little
imagination and your inkjet printer.
Metallic inkjet media is available in gold, chrome,
and silver. Although metallic inkjet media accepts
print in either color or black and white, generally
black and white prints will present better on gold.
If you print yellow on silver metallic media, it
will look like a gold inlay. Orange printed on
silver looks like bronze.
This transformation takes place between the ink and
the media so you don’t have to apply difficult text
and photo manipulations to achieve elegant results.
Add dazzling effects to photos and text with
holographic film. The base color of holographic
media is silver. Holographic film reflects the full
color spectrum and presents your print project in a
rainbow of colors, changing along with the angle of
view.
Super Color Shrink is a pliable plastic that accepts
inkjet print. After printing, you bake the plastic
and it shrinks and hardens, reducing the size of
your image and adding texture to your project. Super
Color Shrink is available both transparent and white
art sheets.
Even if you can’t paint like Monet or Van Gogh, you
can still create a masterpiece on canvas with Super
Color Art Canvas. Designed for use with inkjet
printers, Super Color Art Canvas is actually a
specially coated nylon surface that renders your
images and photos so beautifully that you probably
won’t even want to frame them!Cling Window media
makes window posters and removable art that adhere
to most glass, plastic and baked enamel surfaces.
As you probably know, it is impossible to print the
color white, but you can make white embossed prints
with inkjet embossing paper and white embossing
powder. Inkjet embossing paper keeps inks from
drying. Sprinkle your prints with embossing powder
and then heat the image with an embossing tool or
heat gun and watch as your design becomes an
embossed raised image. Find both white and clear
embossing powders at any good craft retail store.
Preserve embossed images with a clear acrylic spray.
Apply your designs to unpainted wood, marble, slate,
and leather with inkjet rub-on decal paper or use
water slide decal media to decorate glass, metal,
ceramics, candles…
Combine imagination and specialized inkjet media to
extend your creativity to the limit. The
possibilities are endless when you think inkjet!
