Help with photo coasters

[heckofagal]

Trying to make coasters for christmas gifts this year. Bought some of the tumbled tiles and will be doing some with just stamps. Also wanted to do some with the photos printed on tissue paper and I am struggling with my printer eating the tissue paper. Would tracing paper possibly work?

Any tricks for getting the tissue printed? I tried taping all sides and my printer still gobbled it up.

Anyone?

Did you try taping the edges of the tissue paper to regular printer paper? That's how I've done mine and had success getting it to print without eating it. Just make sure there's enough of a border to trim around. Hope this helps! :-D

I can not get mine to print either, found this hoping to get some answers...guess none are out there?

I often print words and phrases on tracing paper, then use it on a card. Hadn't thought to use it for photos, but it sounds reasonable.

BTW... I usually tape just the leading edge of the tracing paper to a piece of regular copy paper.

hi all, if you are trying to print on very thin tissue paper, you may want to use temporary adhesive or something similar to stick the tissue paper to another sheet of printing paper so that the printer rollers have something sturdy to 'grip' onto. It helps to have the 2 sheets of paper the same size so that no curling or folding occurs at the edges. You can easily remove the tissue paper from the backing paper once you are done.
