Another photo skin method

Printing onto a sheet of 2"x4" mailing labels is a quick and simple way to transfer your image onto your bait.



The labels stick well, and the paper is pretty durable. I'm almost finished with a bait using this method,I'll post pics soon.

Re: Another photo skin method

Re: Another photo skin method

I picked up some full sheets instead of the small labels and you can print the whole pic at one time.I picked them up at work about three months ago but never used them on a bait yet, dont know why. I like the pics you have,they would make some killer salt water patterns

Re: Another photo skin method

What kind of a printer are you using? I have an HP inkjet, and I'm not sure the lable paper would go through it.

Re: Another photo skin method

hmm full size mailing labels might work! i will pick some up next time im out and give em a go.

im sure you would be able to print wth higher definition when printing on these rather than printing on tissue paper (you lose a lot of detail when printing on tissue paper).

Re: Another photo skin method

I haven't actually done it, so I'm just guessing here, but I think the reason for printing on tissue paper over foil is that the tissue paper turns almost transparent when it's top coated over foil, so you get the picture over foil.
I guess, if the picture you're printing is good enough, that might not be necessary.
I'm still trying to find some really good photos online that would work for me.

I agree with losing the definition. I am also going to give it a whirl. Although I do like the flash that the foil gives the bait.
