Kodak Xtralife paper question
« on: February 26, 2010, 06:28:17 PM »
I have a question which has been bugging me for a few months.
Last December, I scored a big roll of Kodak Xtralife Paper. The paper is made to go in their instant print dye-sub commercial machines. But all I have is the substrate, no wax rollers and no printer.

Now comes the all important question: does anybody have any idea of what I could do with it?
It's not photo sensitive. It's too glossy to hold any ink. It won't fit through my laser printer because it's too narrow.

All ideas are welcome.

Thanks.

Funny :D

I'm afraid not many of them would work well...
Dye-sub machines are too expensive and the paper comes with the wax transfer paper.
When it comes to putting it in the loo... the paper is thick and shiny... just imagine the results :)
Using it to take notes... it would work using a Sharpie...
