Advice For Printing And Using Collage Sheets

How Do You...

We get questions all the time about using

collage sheet images that you print at home

if all you have is an ink-jet printer?

We thought you'd like to know what 

we advise so here's a response that 

we sent to a customer just last week...

When all I had was an ink jet printer, I would 

use a decent weight paper (not the thin stuff like 

cheap copy paper) and print the sheet. Let it dry 

very well (an hour or even more if it's humid.) 

Then get some ModPodge and a brush. 

Paint a very thin coat of the stuff over the images. 

Go vertical. let it dry, then brush across. 

Let that dry well. Then cut out your images to use.

Try not to saturate the back (use as little glue 

as you need to stick to the surface you're gluing to) 

Let it dry then coat the piece with the ModPodge 

using the same technique. 
OR... 

wait for a sale at someplace like Staples or 

Office Max and get color copies made. 

Tell them not to change the size of the file 

(I usually send the files online to them) and 

to use a 24 or 32 pound bond bright white paper. 

It's worth the money because toner never smears!!!

We hope this inspires you to NOT be 

afraid to print your own sheets at home!
