I wish I could take credit for this one, but I can't.
While looking for project ideas, shortly after we invented Super Color Shrink
a Micro Format employee - a talented crafter - made these two samples.
First I took my in-laws wedding photograph and scanned it into my comuter. I printed the sepia image a number of different sizes on Super Color Shrink.
Then they were put into a toaster oven and shrunk.
Sandra show me a couple of settings she had found at a local craft store.
Using high school math, we compared the original printed size to the final hard plastic size.
The images were printed again. This time we guessed at the original size, hoping it would shrink to a final size that would work in the settings.
After a number of tries, this is what Sandra made.
