Icing Images Premium Icing Sheets are truly premium. The easy-to-peel backing, texture, pleasant vanilla scent and slightly sweet flavor make this sheet ideal for applying to many types of confections. They can be applied to buttercream, royal icing, fondant, chocolate and other media. When used with a printer and high-quality ink, they result in vibrant and sharp images. They can also be painted with gel colors or airbrushed for beautiful results. These sheets can be easily cut with an electronic cutter, scissors, blades or craft hole punches. Handling: These sheets require no refrigeration and come in a mylar bag to prevent exposure to the elements. Always seal mylar bag after removing the sheet, to reduce exposure to the air, which can result in dry sheets. The plastic edge should be fed into the printer first. Once printed, the sheets can be stored up to months at a time, as long as they are stored in an airtight bag, out of direct light and extreme temperatures. Note: exposure to the air will tend to dry out the sheets. Remove from pouch just before pushing the print button on your printer. After printing, wait for several minutes to dry and place immediately on your confection or return to the mylar or resealable plastic bag until ready for use. Only open at room temperature, as the sheets may become brittle and crack easily in cold temperatures. If your printer has the Prevent Paper Abrasion option, it should be enabled or turned on.
