    Hi Jill, use some cheap photo copy paper and print your image onto this. Then get some watercolour paper and some masking tape. Tape the some watercolour paper over the top the image and print. Make sure you dryout the ink. Use a heat gun or leave overnight. If you want to paperpiece with a digi image use the same technique masking you DP over the image. Hope this helps you out hunny.

    Have you tried setting your printer settings to print differently? I used a lot of digis, and always set my printer to 'Best' quality (Not better' and 'Glossy Paper' even though I use normal cardstock. This is using a inkjet. Give it a go (If you havent already!) xx

    I used to have this problem until I followed Mina's advice. Use a heat gun and get it really close to the paper. You have to keep it moving to avoid scorching the paper. Let it cool and then do it again. I hope this helps.

    I found a paper from Clear Dollar Stamps.com. Lori McCloskey and I went through different methods to make sure we wouldn't have a bleeding problem. Well, her paper is awesome, and I've had no problems printing and playing with my distress inks.
