Questions & Answers
I've been having the same issue as you. I used a piece of tape on the corner to make it easier to peel.
I used the photo fabric to transfer some of my images to silk, which I then mounted on suitable media. On Canvas, I made a layout. The images (on the silk) turned out beautifully, but the silk became extremely wrinkled during the process and had to be pressed. This method will work for handwriting, but if you want a high-quality result, print it on a clean white or colored piece of paper that won't bleed. After that, scan it, crop it, and save it as a jpeg image file before transferring it to a non-bleeding material. If you're writing it down, avoid using a bleed-proof pen or ink. Some are superior to others in terms of quality. Overall, I was happy with the results, at least with silk, but I haven't tried it with many other materials.
Selected User Reviews For Blumenthal Lansing Crafter's Images 100-Percent Silk Habotai, 8-1/2-Inch by 100-Inch Roll Photo Fabric
My item printed well, but I had to deal with a lot of fraying on the edges of the pieces of fabric as I worked with it. I was afraid it wouldn't be able to withstand any kind of abuse. This would be lovely as a wall hanging or somewhere else where it wouldn't be abused. Having it in a roll and being able to select the size of the final item to be printed is extremely convenient. br>br>It arrived quickly and was simple to use, but the silk is far too delicate for me to give it five stars. I'd suggest using either regular cotton or a heavier poplin.
This is a delicate silk that is very thin. This version's printing is paler than the cotton version's. There are also numerous stray threads that must be trimmed prior to printing, or your printer will become jammed. If you plan to use this in a sewing project, be cautious when stitching because the needle creates a run line (similar to pantyhose) when pushed through the fabric.
Silk that can be printed out I am completely enamored with this material! I'm using an Epson R2400 to print digital images onto fabric, and I'm pleased with the results. The hand of the fabric is lovely, and it takes inks well. br>br>You'll need to finish the fabric edges because it frays easily (which is to be expected with this type of fabric).
It really works. With only a smidgeon of bleed, the text and images are crystal clear. It was thoroughly washed and dried.
I've used this product to make photo quilt squares on several occasions. It performs admirably.
This is not the product for you if you need an opaque way to print and place on another surface. br>The thin fabric is flexible, but it has no opacity, so whatever is underneath shows through.
Everything went smoothly.
I really liked this product, and it was reasonably priced - I am satisfied with the purchase.
