NuFun Activities Inkjet Printable Glow in the Dark Shrink Paper, (50 Sheets)

This stuff is WAY better than the Shrinkydink Inkjet sheets. I was getting discouraged trying to get the Shrinkydink to work, but then I tried this stuff and it came out beautifully on the first try! I still need to do some experimenting to get the colors exactly how I want them, but I'm nearly there!I was also pleasantly surprised to find that I can use markers and colored pencils on this immediately, no need to sand the sheets, just draw right on them! One small thing to be aware of is that if the sheets get wet (through too much marker or too much printer ink), the glow in the dark stuff on top will peel off and take your color with it. So do follow the directions and let it dry fully before cutting! Very small mistakes will disappear when you shrink the pieces, so it's also not the end of the world if you mess up.They shrink very well, and I've had great success pressing them flat with a lasanga turner while they're still warm. I did have some warping on mine, but I've mitigated this by turning them halfway through the baking process. It could be because I'm using an old toaster oven instead of a big conventional oven, so you'll have to experiment with your own equipment to see what works.Unlike the Shrinkydink sheets, these sheets have almost no odor, and the texture isn't unpleasant to the touch. They're also much, much easier to cut, and I had less issues with tearing. The surface of the pieces is matte, which isn't what I'd prefer, but I'm planning to coat them in acrylic sealer anyways so it shouldn't be an issue.The glow is pretty bright, even through the printer ink. It's a fairly short lived glow, but I think it might last longer if I had a chance to charge them in direct sunlight. Still, it's about what I was expecting, and that's fine because I wanted this plastic more for printability than for glowing in the dark.I cannot recommend these enough if you're looking to make shrink plastic projects, especially if you want to print. I'll never use Shrinkydink again! So long as the formula stays the same, you've got yourself a very happy repeat customer.

I've recently used 3 different brands of shrink plastic, Shrinky Dink (issues), Grafix (okay, but not great) and this. I really liked the print quality on this (unlike both of the other brands). My apologies that my picture is a little fuzzy but I thought you'd like to see the difference between the printed and the shrunken version. I lightened up the original photo (a lot more than 20% that they recommend as the minimum) and it printed with no ink smearing on the paper (I have an Epson and used Premium Matte for the paper setting). It does glow in the dark (the light/white areas). Very happy with this and if I need more shrink film in the future will use this brand.

I love these sheets! They ran through my printer with no problem and dried very quickly. Cuts nicely. I did find that I had to adjust the print settings below what was recommended in the instructions. I had a very color intense image so in photoshop I used two adjustment layers, Hue/Saturation set at 50% lightness setting only, Brightness/Contrast set at 75/70. I'm not a photoshop expert but these worked for me.After shrinking the image was crisp without much skewing. It has a matte look and feel. I always seal my projects as they are not waterproof otherwise.

Just have to leave it out in the sun or under uv light, the paper tends to deform the images a bit (almost as if they were squished to the sizes) but I'm sure that can be fixed with editing skills haha

Instructions state 350-400 degrees I had much better success at 325. To prevent curling some people suggest placing a sheet of parchment ON TOP of your paper that seemed to make them curl worse for me. Also....be patient. Some of mine are curling almost completely but will flatten back out. I used the Shrinky Dink ink jet brand and tried every paper setting and all the ink was smearing. This film prints perfectly every time. Definitely superior to shrinky dink. And it GLOWS!

It prints beautiful but when it shrinks it gets opaque and the glowing in the dar is not so visible

Love love love this product. I made cute shrinky dink Mardi Gras throws to hand out while marching with my Krewe. Last minute idea and the look adorable. Make sure to brighten original image, images get darker while shrinking.

Fun shrinks dinks if you remember those. Hard to cut on the Cricut we had to make 3 passes with the deep cut blade. Great for jewelry and gift tags
