Grafix 16-Inch by 24-Inch Incredible Art Board Recent Reviews



Grafix 16-Inch by 24-Inch Incredible Art Board Recent Reviews
I staple it, tape it, and with another great review on this board, learned you can clean off gummed tape by running luke-warm water over it and using your hand or a light sponge or cloth to dissolve the glue. I've used it front and back at the same time and had no problems. I highly recommend this to stretch watercolor paper.

I was hoping that this would be perfect for stretching half sheets of Arches Cold Pressed watercolor paper, since it seems to be what it's made for, but it's just slightly to thin. It IS exactly 16" wide, but the Arches, with the deckle, comes in at about 16.25". I'll probably wind up cutting it down for smaller sheets.

This board nice and lightweight. The corners tend to get crushed a bit, but it does not affect anything. I recommend it.

I wanted an art board to take to classes so it had to be lightweight and sturdy. This board fills the bill. It cleans up nicely, and holds any size paper I will work with. And the price was right. I'm happy with it.

I have 3 of these boards and have been using them for about 10 years for all my watercolor stretching. They are wonderfully lightweight, but very sturdy. I use paper tape to stretch my paper on them, cut carefully when done, and the tape cleans off nicely with water and a gentle sponge or cloth. Love these boards! Wouldn't be without them.

The board is very light and easy to use. A solid surface for painting. I use it for watercoloring. It is so light that it makes transporting it a breeze.

I love this board. The size gives me a great surface and space for painting indoors and out as an amateur and beginner painter. Also it's nice and sturdy though weightless/

This was just the ticket. It meets all my expectations and beyond. It takes a lot of abuse and is solid as a rock. I love that it's lightweight and extremely durable. I would recommend it highly to any watercolor artist!

Grafix KSF6-WIJ 8-1/2-Inch by 11-Inch Shrink Film, Printable, White Inkjet, 6-Pack Reviews



Grafix KSF6-WIJ 8-1/2-Inch by 11-Inch Shrink Film, Printable, White Inkjet, 6-Pack Reviews
If you don't print the ink/colors lighter than what you need, everything will turn out far far darker once the plastic has shrunk down. This isn't too much of a problem, as long as you remember that step. Other than that, this is just fine printable shrink plastic. I wish there was a better price for this, but what can you do? I am happy to have been able to find this product here at Amazon!

Kind of spendy but definitely worth it. I have had a lot of fun with this product. It works great for stamping and is compatible with my copic markers. I've made personalized luggage tags with this shrink film and they turn out really nice. You can print both sides.

This is a great product, I used it to print pictures of family and made all of my female family members there own braclets for christms, every one love them. thank you for helping make christmes 2008 one to rember.

I used the shrink film to print photos and made a bracelet out of them. I had to lighted the picture a lot since the color is condensed when you shrink them but the quality of the shrink film made them look great!

I was so excited for this product - but beware that it might not feed through your printer. I tried mine and my neighbor's and neither of our printers would accept this. :(

I have used this product once (I just ordered my second batch today) and since it was my first time, I was super paranoid and read and followed the directions painstakingly. Because of this, I was able to create very pretty, colorful keychains that sold well at the event I took them to. All six sheets came out well. I do definitely recommend coating them with mod podge to seal the color. The texture is rough so if you're making something you would not like to be rough, this would be another strong incentive to use a clear sealant.I obtained perfectly flat pieces by waiting for them to flatten out in the oven and following up by squashing them down with thin a piece of smooth, coated cardboard and applying force evenly over it with something flat. If a rogue piece was too curled up out of the oven to squash down, I simply pulled it flatter with disposable wooden chopsticks before I put the cardboard down onto it.If you're worried you'll miss an important step just have a short checklist at your elbow to make absolutely sure that you lightened your image by 50% BEFORE PRINTING and punched any holes BEFORE BAKING. Those are the two big things you don't want to forget.

I used the Grafix shrink film to make 64 tokens for a scout camp. I set the printer settings to plain paper and draft mode. I cut with a circle cutter to make the perfect edge. I set the toaster oven to 300 degrees. Why not the oven? Well, I did them in small batches so no need. I placed them on parchment paper on the baking tray. The first batches took about three minutes. The later batches took much less time, because the oven was already hot. They curl up when shrinking, but just leave them be and they straighten up on their own. When they are flat, they're done.The colors turned out beautifully, the edges are uniform and clean. I think the project went very well and I'm pleased with the result. The next time I need a small plastic something, I will turn to this shrink film. It's wonderful.

This product does just as it says it does. Just follow the instructions and you will have perfect little charms. The finished texture is a little rough on sensitive skin though.

Grafix inkjet shrink film is the highest quality shrink film I've used to date. Ink dries quickly on the surface. Unlike the popular brand of shrink plastic, this stuff doesn't stick to itself during the curing process. As with other shrink films, keep a spatula handy to flatten the plastic as soon as you remove it from the oven. Highly recommended.

It works like shrinky dinks normally do but after baking the cut out shapes have a rough texture to them. Not scratchy but you can definitely feel the roughness that regular color and bake shrinky dink film doesn't have.Other than that it worked fairly well for what I had in mind which was printing out family photos and creating gifts for family members. Note of warning, darker pictures will seem MUCH darker after shrinking so if you have a way of lightening the pics before you print and bake them your pieces will look better in the finished product. Black&White photos came out just as nice and the color pics. One last thing, which I think was my fault for free hand cutting and rounding edges of my pics, is that some (not all) of my pics shrank at an angle making the rectangles and squares offset.All of the things I listed above wouldn't keep me from using this product again, but I know more now than I did before I wasted a few sheets. I would use them again, but better tools, planning, and prepping photos prior will be necessary. Hope my trial and errors help you out in advance if you're interested in using this product!
