You can print your pictures or designs directly through your inkjet printer onto both sides of the Shrink plastic. You'll see your shrink plastic reduce in size and harden into your finished piece. I wouldn't use transparency film.
It isn't designed to melt the same way Shrinky Dink plastic is. Lightly sand one side of the Shrink Film using or grit sand paper and then wipe away the dust. Print your image onto the sanded side of the Shrink Film using your printer's lowest image quality- the one that uses least amount of ink possible. Also, you may want to print a test run on paper.

Get them from sites online or scan them to your computer if you have created them yourself.
This means that you need to make your initial image 3 times larger than you would like your final SD to be. If you want a 1 inch tall SD, you need to make it 3 inches tall on your computer program. Now for the second side of your SD paper. In your image program, copy your page and open a new document. Paste your existing page in to the new document and flip the page horizontally. This will give you an idea of where the backside of your images will go to create the backside of your Shrinky Dinks.
This part will take a little fudging so I suggest you print page 1 onto a plain piece of regular copy paper, flip it over, reinsert it into your printer and print page 2.

The large circular punch shown in the photo is used to cut 3 inch circles. You can create a 3" circle pattern on your imaging program and then stamp them out with this tool. Prepare, Format and Print your Shrinky Dinks. Cut your Patterns. Feed each sheet individually, as you would paper.
