Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success with your projects, follow these setup guidelines:
- Printing: Always print on the frosted side of the plastic. Ensure your printer settings are adjusted to a matte or 'heavyweight' paper setting to prevent ink smearing.
- Cutting: Place the printed plastic face up on your cutting plate. Use your Sizzix Thinlits or Bigz dies as you would with cardstock.
- Shrinking: Use a dedicated Sizzix Heat Tool for even heat distribution. Avoid touching the plastic with your hands immediately after shrinking, as it will be hot; use tweezers or a heat-resistant tool to hold the piece in place.
- Storage: Keep unused sheets in a cool, dry place and store them flat to prevent warping or creasing.
