Random Quick Tip!

Save Ink While Printing Bead Sheets
When setting up your printer for printing bead sheets, be sure to set your DPI to no more than 150 dots per inch. You don't need the extra ink that a higher resolution produces and by reducing the resolution, you lessen the chance of ink bleed when you dip or glaze your paper beads.
