Printing on Tissue Paper ???

[forever_amber]

Does anyone know how to run tissue paper through a printer? I'm trying REALLY hard to print something and it's not working!! I've tried taping it to a piece of paper and running it through and it rips and jams. Isn't this how you print a photo to adhere it to a coaster? Why am I having such a hard time? Thanks

I have done this many times and haven't had a problem. I cut the tissue paper with straight edges, about 1" smaller all around than the printer paper. Then I use regular scotch magic tape but I tape it on all four sides, clear down each side so no tissue is loose at the edges...then run it through the printer. Haven't had a single problem. Oh, yes I did, once I didn't smooth the tissue out really well and it had a wrinkle in it and printed funny.

I'm doing exactly THAT. Hmmm. I even added an extra 2 inches of tape at the bottom to get it "started" in the printer. I wonder if my printer is sensitive. At least I don't feel like an idiot now!
