That printed tissue paper turned out amazing! You must have a printer - my quick online search shows custom tissue paper printing in that size to total more than the cost of the plane!
You can print on tissue paper with just about any home inkjet printer.
There are a few "howevers":
- You are limited to the max paper size of your printer. the bigger the better. Mine will print on a 13X30 sheet.
- The straight the paper path as it moves through the printer the better. Mine is about almost a straight shot.
- Pigmented ink is way more water resistant than dyed ink. I use pigmented.
- It uses a lot of ink! I use a Continuous Ink System and buy in in 110ml bottles so the cost is a fraction of those little cartridges.
Other than that you just adhere the tissue paper to a carrier sheet (I use 80lbs text) with repositionable adhesive spray, trim to fit, print on it, and then carefully peel it off the carrier sheet.
You will most likely have to prep the carrier sheet by applying tissue paper to it and peeling it off repeatedly to weaken the glue bond. If you just spray it, add tissue and print the tissue will most probably rip.
How do I know all this stuff? I print the tissue paper covers for SGTalon RC SciFi ships like the Enterprise-D, Imperial Start Destroyer etc. I use an Epson Artisan 1430. I have printed a lot of tissue paper for people.
