Woo Hoo! – Any blank canvas! Don’t worry, we’ve got lots of great tutorials included below that will inspire you to give this technique a try! and quite a challenge it is!! This week we’re featuring Copic coloring on OTHER surfaces~ fabric, chipboard, vellum, plastic, etc. Don’t try to print on these materials.ĭRAWBACK: Limiting your usage means you’ll have fewer opportunities to use these cool materials.Welcome! Time for a new Copic challenge. TIP 10: Avoid using mulberry paper, shiny holographic papers, cool acrylic-coated, flocked papers, other specialty papers, clay and wood for backgrounds. You may already have non-inkjet shrink plastic in your child’s supplies and while sanding helps, the surface may still resist the ink. TIP 9: Buy shrink plastic specifically made for inkjet printers or use sand paper to rough up the surface so the ink adheres better.ĭRAWBACK: Inkjet shrink plastic may be less commonly available and more expensive. If archival safety is important to you, make sure the inkjet film specifies archivally-safe. (While Polyester film, such as film negatives and ‘write-on’ transparencies are acid free and archivally safe, most ink jet transparencies are treated with acid to make the matte surface and are not acid free. TIP 8: Buy inkjet transparency film for printing on.ĭRAWBACK: Inkjet transparencies may not be acid-free and the ones that are may be expensive and difficult to find. TIP 7: Buy pre-printed vellum, transparency film, ribbon and twill tape.ĭRAWBACK: Pre-printed supplies are expensive, aren’t personalized, and when you buy packs of quotes, you may find some you love and throw away the rest (or forever store them). TIP 6: Buy markers specifically made for vellum and stamp ink specifically designed to stick to more difficult surfacesĭRAWBACK: Buying additional special inks and markers can be costly, and your storage space may be limited. And while embossing can be attractive, who wants to have to do this every time you print on vellum? TIP 5: Since the ink will smear when it's wet, don’t touch it until it is totally dry or use embossing powder and a heat gun.ĭRAWBACK: Waiting to use your vellum-sometimes for hours or days-can be a drag. TIP 4: Don't use big, wide fonts as thinner lines won't show the resisting as much.ĭRAWBACK: If you want big, bold fonts for your title, who wants to compromise? If you can find a less shiny side, use it.ĭRAWBACK: You will probably be frustrated trying to find that side and waste a good deal of vellum in the process. TIP 3: Use the "right side" of the vellum. No sparkle! Also, inkjet vellum tends to be more expensive and still takes a long time to dry. TIP 2: Use vellum made specifically for inkjet printers or office supply vellum which often prints fairly well.ĭRAWBACK: Inkjet vellum can only be made in plain pastels.no pearl, embossed, or metallic coating. TIP 1: Try printing on transparency setting as this puts out a lot less ink.ĭRAWBACK: The printing will not be perfect, bold or crisp, and the ink may still dry slowly. These are based on a tip submitted by user Scraperfect. Below are some tips and pointers that will help you out. Printing on vellum or transparencies can be tricky and frustrating.
