Pucker vs. Thickness...,

Below is a visual of what was meant on the little ramble on pucker - note the puckers at the very edge of the surface. This is kitchen foil that's been treated with an inkjet receptor coating bonded to 65# cardstock.

The inkjet receptor coating was self researched and designed but requires a protective coating to be applied. I've come up with a different method for inkjet printing on aluminum but that's for reserved for another post flow.

A thicker foil (0.005") on 100% cotton is shown below. The experiment was a first go at doing an "inside out" forming method.
