Difficult at first, but stick with it
I find decreasing the transparency of the picture prior to printing helps to keep the clarity of the picture and the ink from bleeding. It is difficult to work with at first, but I was persistent and the images are coming out of the oven on point!

Works well
I did not have any of the problems I have read about in previous reviews. I printed from my computer directly to the Shrinky Dink Ink Jet paper, cut out the image and shrank it. I used a heat tool rather than an oven. The shrunken image came out perfectly proportional.

Versatile and fun
I've been making give aways for a local group using a very cheap color ink jet printer, and these work very well and are very reasonable. Of course, I always use a coupon ;)

BEWARE! They changed the formula! No longer work
These no longer work. They used to work beautifully when the bassett hound with the big ears was on the front of the package... and now they smudge and the ink pools up on top and the images come out blurry! Do not buy the ones with the butterfly on the front. They clearly changed the formula!

Works well
The inkjet paper is a little thicker than the clear regular shrink paper. Definitely need to set the printer on lowest quality otherwise colors bleed a little. Black and white comes out crisp and clear though.

Follow the instructions!
I bought this product before seeing the reviews online and got a bit worried because of the low-rating. However, this product worked just like it was suppose to. I think the mistakes come from people using the instruction manual from the previous product instead of the one that comes with this one.
I recommend doing smaller pieces since that's what I did (I had around 6 pieces per pages) and I feel like they bake more easily this way.
Here are all the instructions + some tips :
1- Lower the opacity of your picture to 50% or else the colors WILL be too dark. If you lower the opacity, they will be perfectly ok. Many free softwares will allow you to do so. I would recommend not using large patches of pure black as it might come out badly - use a dark blue or brown instead. Dark blue and brown come out perfectly fine and a bit of pure black is not too bad either.
2- Use a inkjet printer. The one I used is a HP Deskjet 2542 with the settings that were recommended in the instructions manual. Some printers won't work with the product : Lexmark and HP deskjet 1200/1600 are not recommended and only HP, Epson and Canon printers are listed in the recommended printers list. Maybe your pieces will come out with lines on them but as soon as they're baked the lines will disappear so don't worry.
3- Put them in the oven at 325 F and WATCH THEM. You need to wait until the pieces are as flat as they can be to get them out (I would even recommend to wait a bit after that) I used a regular baking oven for this. Keep something flat and heavy like a book close to flaten your pieces once they're out. They will flat out easily if you press them right after they're out.
4- I HIGHLY recommend to put varnish on your pieces. Water can easily damage them and varnish brings out the color better. Don't use varnish for painting as it will also damage the pictures. I personnally used an old clear nail polish but I'm sure other products will do the job just fine!
It was not a difficult product to use (even if the long list of instructions might seem like it, I did not need to go back to read the instructions once I've done it once).

DO NOT GET THIS
I tried using these for making charms and I believe they changed the type of paper they use and now when you put it through an InkJet printer, the ink bleeds and distorts the image and the image will have white lines through them. I tried multiple pieces of paper and ended up with the same results every time. I suggest using the Grafix brand instead of these.
