Why did my shrinky dinks plastic come out wet?

Question

Hello,



I bought a pack of shrinky dinks for ink jet printers from the shrinky dinks official website and I printed one sheet from my HP Inkjet Printer. When it printed I waited 2 min like the directions said to do and after that I touched the side of an image to see if it had dried. The ink was wet and went all over the place. I still ignored that and cut them out and baked them. After baking them the image came out good but when I touched it the ink was still wet. Isn't it supposed to dry? This was my second time buying shirnky dinks from the website and it came out fine the first time I did it. Its messing up for reason even though I'm using the directions correctly.

Anyone know the reason why this is happening?

Answer 1

You say you are following the directions correctly, could you be inserting the plastic sheet wrong side up? If that's not it, I don't know what to tell you. Contact the customer service of the company and explain your problem.

Answer 2

Michael's sells shrinky dinks they are about $10 a pack (or less depending on what kind you get). Also Pat Catans sells them. Don't try Jo-Ann's because they don't sell them. Also you can pick of ink-jet printer shrinky dinks (very very cool). Michael's no longer sells these but Pat Catans does. I know the ink-jet printer paper is $10 for 6 sheets. It is also a waste of time to buy them on-line. Because it is the same price plus s/h.

Answer 3

I would write to them and ask about it. Their site has a contact address at the bottom
