Hello!!! As artists we're always looking at different ways of how to print on paper. Yes, we could easily print directly using our printer but certain papers are too thin or have a texture that is not adapted for a printer. In those cases, custom prints can be DIYed by using sublimation spray as we found out in this video. We were super excited to try it on maps, an old dictionary, and a kraft bag. Would this be something you would try? Let us know in the comments!
