Aubrey - I know I have seen some made especially for ink jet printers. I think I saw it at Michaels, but you might try google for ink jet shrink plastic?

I've done with regular shrink plastic with mixed results. Seems like the ink always wanted to spread out before I had a chance to cut and shrink it. You may want to try the special shrink plastic made for printers (ink jet). I know Michaels carries it in the same section as their kid stuff, foam core boards, etc.

I have used the one that is sanded on one side, and if you make it so that the sanded side is the side that gets printed on, that has worked for me.
