How to Use Inkjet Printable Shrink Sheets

1. Choose your design and print it right on the shrink plastic using an inkjet printer. Keep in mind that the finished, shrunken piece is about 1/2 the size of the piece you start with, so choose your image size based on that.

2. After your designs are printed, use punches, scissors or Cricut/Silhouette/Brother to cut them out. That’s right! You can use the Print then Cut feature on your Machine with this Shrink Film. Be sure and punch your hole before shrinking if this will be a tag.

3. You have two options for shrinking your designs. You can use a heat gun to shrink it. Make sure you are working on a heat safe surface like a teflon pad. Using a spatula can help you keep your design flat,  Move the heat gun around evenly as you shrink it to avoid distortion.

You can also opt to bake your design to shrink it. Heat your oven to 150 C degrees and pace your design on a piece of parchment paper or a teflon sheet on a baking pan (dont bake direct on metal) . Place the design in the oven for 2-3 minutes until it has fully shrunk. Watch it carefully. For larger designs you may want to your oven down and let is shrink slower.

Are Inkjet Printable Shrink Sheets Supposed to Curl Up?

4. Regardless of which option you choose, there will be a time in the middle of the shrinking where you will think – this is messed up my Inkjet Printable White Shrink Sheets , but it’s not. As it starts to shrink, it really begins to curl up and you’ll think all hope is lost. But then as it gets all the way shrunk it starts to flatten out again. As you pull it out of the oven, or finish up with your heat gun, it may still be slightly warped, and you just need to gently press on it with a something flat to help it get all the way flat. But be careful, as pieces are extremely hot when you pull them out.
