Hi Debbie I printed the stain glass image on a waterproof film. I used the brand name Fixxons. It never smuges. I have extras printed and would be happy to send you some or anyone else would like some let me know.

I would love to have some of your awesome windows Lynn. I have a church that I am finishing up that would look great with them installed. How do I share my postal address with you? Thanx in advance! It's a gorgeous church BTW Laurie!

This question is for Lynn, regarding the windows and the waterproof film. From what I have found on their website this film is for silk screening. Are you actually using the printed screen for the windows? I have an HP printer Is this something I print without having to buy special ink? How is it waterproof if the printer ink is on top of the screen?? OR are you printing them out and them using ink/paint to "screen" the images?
I was wondering if a printed baby Jesus would be an alternative to the cupcake toppers for the manger ornaments? If they are a little thin may be they could be mounted to some cardboard? Debbie

Hi everyone; here's what a friend does; she prints the windows and doors on regular paper, then places a piece of matte finish--not shiny--scotch tape on the back and the front.

Very strong and waterproof--more or less.

Hi Debbie,

I belive they refer to it as water proof because the ink won't smuge. When I tried acetate the ink puddle on top and never dried. It's great to work with just like printing on paper, I cut it out with sissors and use contact cement to glue them in. I printed mine on my HP Office Jet Pro. It nice because the light shines through and looks just like stained glass. I hope this helps.
