Default photo coasters

Grrrrrrrr! I'm trying to print a photo onto tissue paper. I want to make tile coasters with photos. I know I need to print the picture onto tissue paper and then modpog onto tile. I've tried taping the paper to regular printer paper but it still jams my printer. Any suggestions??

Try taping your tissue paper to a piece of regular printer paper then run it through. That should work, unless the tissue is too thin to handle the ink
HTH

You could use a repositionable spray adhesive on a piece of paper or cardstock, then put your tissue on and run it through your printer. I'm hoping my printer works because this is what I want to do as well. I've only every stamped and coloured on tiles. My old printer could handle it, so we'll see how the new one does.

This is what I've done in the past (I used cardstock to give it more stability).

I tried last night to just tape the tissue paper to the printer paper and it didn't work. I had to use a repositionable spray adhesive. Its a little tricky and tedious to get the tissue off the paper afterwards, but it does work and my tiles came out really cute.

Default photo coasters

I cut my tissue paper a tad smaller than the paper (rollers seem to catch better on paper) I use a glue stick (on tissue paper) all the way around the edges , then stick to paper..it works great for me..the tape jams the printer cause the rollers cant grab on the tape
good luck

Default omni gel instead of printing on tissue paper

I think a product named omni gel may work.... I just read about it here. I haven't tried this but I think that it would work.
