  • Embed Paper - Update

    We have had several calls regarding our embed paper.

    It seems that after several days some people are have having trouble with color migration in melt and pour soap.

    We have done extensive testing and despite the manufacturer's claims these are our findings:

    • Colors printed from an ink jet printer will experience color migration or bleeding.
    • When using an ink jet printer, sealing designs with hair spray and clear sealants did not help....designs still migrated.
    • When using an ink jet printer, allowing designs to dry for 3 days did not help....designs still migrated.
    • Designs printed from a color laser printer did not migrate. They stay crisp and clear. No sealants or cure time was needed.

    It is believed that the color laser printed designs did not migrate in melt and soap soap because a pour temp of 125-130ยบ F does not disturb the thermal color bond between the ink and the paper.

    I hope this added information helps you succeed in your project designs. This is a great paper with loads of fun possibilities.

    Will the laser-printed portions of the paper still dissolve as easily, or does the thermal in render the printed sections "water-proof"?

    Thanks,

    Our testing shows that it still dissolves.
