Selected User Reviews For Speedball Mona Lisa 17 1/2-Inch-by-11 3/4-Inch Chacopaper, White
It makes me happy for a few months when I have one sheet. I label the un-protected side of both sheets "this side up," as the package contains a white coated sheet and a white protector sheet There is a coated side to the coated sheet, a protector side to the protector sheet, so that you can tell them apart quickly. The 2 sheets are either rolled up together in a cardboard tube, coated side facing the protector sheet, or stored in a paper towel tube if they are not in use. This eliminates folds in the sheets rapidly.
A sealed package listed as NEW was found to have been opened when the product, chaco paper, was acquired. Despite its crinkle, the transfer paper still looks good. While purchasing the transfer paper, I was not aware that it was slightly worn out.
The two pieces of paper should work for the price, since I just completed what I thought was a transfer of a project from paper to wood only to realize one of the pieces of paper does not.
I'm looking forward to it when A friend of mine and I ordered two packages of this paper for an embroidery project. Since we were making 16 kits, we cut the chacopaper into separate pieces. In my naveté, I neglected to test the paper first. The paper in one package worked as described, but in the other, it did not transfer. Due to the paper in the kit, I have received several returns. When I get the product in the future, I will be sure to test it. My order will be placed once it works again. It's great when it works!.
I used it to transfer a Celtic knot design for embroidery and it worked perfectly! If there were no transfers, patterns, or patterns lasting, I can't say it would be easier to rewrite the paper) At this price, it's really not worth caring. It was usable, but it wasn't worth it. I loved the price and the product was fantastic.
First of all, it comes with two sheets that are identical in appearance, but only one has a special transfer material applied. Unless you test both versions (Strike One), you'll never know which one is the best for your application. I finally discovered which sheet was good after I noticed some very fine white lines on the wooden project board I was using (Strike Two). However, the lines were so faint that I would never be able to see them or follow them with my scroll saw. On the Chacopaper, I made several sketches that I tried to transfer to a sheet of cardboard by pressing very hard. As I pressed the line into the cardboard, I could see the line, but no white color appears on it (and I noticed that I use the right side of paper when I do I was not happy with this product, and it was a waste of money.
There is no better transfer paper to do scratchboard work than this one. The line is just wide enough to be seen on the black surface but not so thick that it obscures the image Transfer paper from Salal is thick and lays down really thick white lines, which are hard to eliminate A damp watercolor brush can be used to remove the Chacopaper lines. The reason I had originally written a bad review was because the form I had was not working. This was just a backer sheet rather than a real one. Several sheets were packaged in the package, if I'm not mistaken. Despite this, there is just one sheet in the description. In this case, I did not want to give a negative review when the error may be my own.
The price is quite high for a single sheet, but the product makes up for it in its uses. Sometimes you can find it for less at local craft stores.
Even though I rarely post negative reviews, sometimes products irritate me when they are not as expected, when they are more expensive than I expected, or when I no longer have the receipt (or there is no way to return them). A few weeks ago I bought this at Michael's in Charlotte. In the box there are two sheets of transfer paper with a price of $9 - $13 Originally, I thought it was quite expensive. The first time I tried it, it did not transfer at all, and I was close to throwing it all out - but then I had a second test, and it did indeed work! However, only very very light transfer was made. This product will not be recommended to me.
