so you uh I'll take the paper I it's a bit of a paper that you don't really
want to bend too much otherwise you create these creases and then it doesn't
and it shows on your designs are really quite careful working with that so I'll
put a beer mat underneath so I can hold the other paper and doesn't get sucked
in there yeah it's just yes so generally a paper type and quality so and so do
the paper it's automatic because I don't really know what paper this on my
printer kind of automatically recognizes the paper so generally do it
automatically I can try different options which works very well with
automatic so the quality is actually best and that's about it I don't really
need to do much else so you can you can vary different things you can have the
ink volume from here for these advanced print options so you can have ink
volume so you can try slightly higher slightly lower see which works best but
that's about it I generally put paper type automatic and quality best
so I'll hold the two papers down and do , wait a second, print
so generally I'll hold these down just not to get sucked
so so I've printed two copies they came out of the printer so it's it's quite
crimpled and it's really shiny yeah because the paper is designed to work
with with a laser printer so that the inkjet ink is quite watery so it needs
to evaporate so there's a lot of water in the ink so it will crimple the
paper like that so I printed two copies to make two designs so here is the other
copy so looks very the same otherwise the color is it's really black it
doesn't let the shine through at all so it really blocks the light is quite good
so I normally would put some paper on top and let it let it like that same paper
very lightly let it dry for about let's say half an hour to an hour and then
I'll put it between two papers in a book fairly thick book something that to make
it flat and then we'll then I'll spray it with with an inkjet varnish in order
to make it slightly matte and not to be that shiny so I'll let it rest now for
let's say half an hour to an hour and then put it in between the sheets of
the book all right so I've kept these for an hour and hopefully this has dried
out well I mean I have a paper on top so it doesn't really dry as much with it
doesn't really need to be dry dry dry it's already dry enough
so I'm generally looking i I would avoid to touch it as even though it is dry you
can still smudge it after the the ink jet varnish or fixative it's pretty safe
to touch and there are any small one dust particles out I'll push them a part
no no touch it too much otherwise it these will get embedded in the paper
once you put it between book so kind of so I tend to most really hold it too
stronk otherwise you can create creases in the paper and then it's pretty
difficult to to remove so I'll put it somewhere underneath sort of to get to get flat and
the next one let's see it any dust particles so it's pretty good to work in
some sort of a there is a bit of a dust particle here I tend to not touch
it too much and always with gloves otherwise so
that's that's actually
let's put it above
that's it so couple of hours is all right for this to kind of flatten but I tend
to leave it overnight and do it the next morning, become really flat at the end so
what I was saying I try not to touch it as as much as possible once you put the
varnish um it's fairly safe to touch I mean it doesn't really smudge much this
fixative it's also UV resistance really once you put it in the car
I have not had this for a while so I don't really know but I said
suppose it will be a fairly stable it has been stable for at least a week in
the car so I mean it's fairly you can do really much anything with that it's very
stable I still don't really touch too much I mean you never know if I have
missed a spot somewhere and just smudge it but but is actually pretty good this
this inkjet fixative the printouts have been in this book for overnight so I'll
take them out to see how flat they are you have to be rather careful as you might
put a crease on the paper and then before spraying it is quite difficult to
get out when you have to see it's really flat as before it is really really flat
and you know creases in the paper it looks it looks pretty good actually
mm it's quite flat now so you can see how there are no creases so this is the
first one you know a bit careful now before spraying it
and second one also looks pretty good it has flatten pretty nicely
