How do you get images to print of great quality? I have an Epson eco tank and have been trying to print images at 25mm car stock and image quality is not good, any advice?
I apologize for the late response. I print them on photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. The photo paper gives a better quality image. Printing on my printer at home with regular paper has a more dull and darker look. I have been printing some graphics for buttons recently, and sent them to be printed at Office Depot printing. I select 28# paper. They usually have coupons and they print them pretty quickly. I have found that they are better quality prints than at home. And I print them on 8.5x11 size.
I design them using InDesign. In Word, go to Layout/Size/scroll to find 4 x 6. Set margins to narrow. Then start making circles by going to Insert/Picture. Then crop to shape - oval. Click crop again and find the corner of the circle, and move it until it is 1' x 1'. Then, move your photo to where you want it to fit. You might have to hold on the shift button while you are adjusting the size of the photo (inside crop marks), so it won't get distorted. I hope this helps. Sorry for the late response. I didn't get a notification of comments.
I make them with Adobe InDesign using my photos. These were printed on 8x10, but I've also created 4x6 sizes also. Sorry for the late reply...just saw your comment. Thank you for the questions!
Yes, photo paper. I mostly have them printed at Walgreens photo. The photo paper gives a better quality image. Printing on my printer at home with regular paper has a more dull and darker look.
I understand the printing of the picture but where do you buy the plastic covers? TIA
thanks so much i wanted learn how to make my own, i wanted make memorial cabs. i appreciate this video
Glad I could help!
I have made Blythe eyes using similar products. My glass eye part was not adhesive. I used white glue onto the printed eye.
Where do you order the epoxy stickers and how do you print?
Chin’an can’t wait to make a pair!
if i were to make them a necklace does the epoxy sticker trap dirt or soften within time ?
No - it doesn't trap dirt or soften. They are pretty firm. If you use faster drying glue - it may damage it though. I use E6000.

I think they are asking how do you get the circular images? Google? And then how do you turn them into little circles?
How do you make the perfect sizes on word?

Gorgeous!! Where do you get your designs from?

So no glue in between the epoxy sticker and the photo?
No, because the epoxy sticker is already sticky and sticks well together.
Do you mind me asking what printer and paper you use?
Photo paper printed at Walgreens. Sorry for the late reply!
