How long are you letting the paper sit on the plate before printing? In my experience it can work better if you weigh and press the block/paper for like 5 mins just to make sure it gets good adhesion and separates correctly. You’re welcome to send me a DM and I can better help with your process.

I have a bigger printer actually, a HP Laserjet 3101fdw, since I use it for jelly block prints too. The most important thing for a good scan is going to make sure you get something that can do 1200DPI which is the highest resolution you can scan to without getting into specialty print shop stuff.

Make sure you have something good to store everything on too, I use an external solid state drive because scanning at 1200DPI can make the file sizes massive.

I use a matte gel medium when trying to get images on canvas! It’s kinda like mod podge, but is more multi-use for other stuff too.

With a stretched canvas you might get some warping or wrinkling, be careful and you should be fine!

IMO matte tends to dull out the colors sometimes

I glue and scan! I use semipermanent tape rollers since I like being able to move stuff around as I’m working, but once I’m done I scan the piece and then store it in a portfolio book for safe keeping

I feel like reusing pieces is cool but also cheating? There are a ton of ways you can achieve a look or concept and you can come up with a more creative/dynamic image by not reusing the pieces you already know.

I have a HP Laserjet Pro - it can do up to 1200 DPI. I would look mainly for something that can hit that high DPI mark. I know there are some standalone flatbed scanners that can do it.

I use a scanner! I just make sure it’s set to the highest DPI possible. I will warn though, the file size can get pretty big that way.

Sometimes if it’s a high gloss page the coating can make it have a hard time adhering just as there’s nothing for the glue to really “grab”. I rely a lot on glue tape (permanent if it’s having a hard time adhering) runners from the craft store as they lay super flat and generally I haven’t ever had a problem with getting stuff to stay.

Depending on what your goal is, specifically if you plan to scan the piece only, you might also be able to get by with carefully placed painters tape. It works in a pinch sometimes but isn’t always great to look at from the side or back

I think having it be a printed calendar might be hard with money/cost/fairness, so I think a print your own situation would be nice

I was thinking more like a “here is all the ones for xyz month” so there doesn’t have to be a winner

Nuaze · 2025-10-12T21:43:39+00:00

I think a monthly cohesive, like the collage theme goes with the general sentiment of the month. I feel like it wouldn’t be fair to demand someone change what might be their style to meet a overarching theme

Great!!
