“Digi Stamps” are simply hand-drawn images that are then made digital. When you purchase or receive for free Imagine That Digistamp products, you receive a zip file that you will then need to unzip or extract using software to do so. If you are new to digis, I suggest that you download one of our freebies to try. If you do not have an unzipping or extracting tool, you can find several good ones online if you Google them.

Once you’ve unzipped your file, you may then print them from file (print 4 on a page perhaps, or print one larger), upload to any photo editing software, or even open them in MS Word which allows you to resize, flip or even change the color of the outline. You receive all images as both PNG and JPEG files, (papers are JPG only).

How to use Digi stamps in MS Word (*this is the method I like to use)

Simply copy and paste the desired element into any word document (like you would any other photo or image)

Resizing an Image in MS Word

To resize after placing in a word document, right click on the image, then click on “size”. This opens a window that allows you to insert the measurement you desire.Some versions of word documents have this sizing feature on the tool bar.

Check“lock aspect ratio”and“relative to original picture size”on this drop down menu. Having them checked holds the image in correct proportion.

Now you can resize by dragging the corners of the image to the size you want.

Printing Images (Ink Jet)

Most printers will print my images clearly with default settings (set to “plain paper”).If you experience fuzzy images or images that are not dark enough, try printing on a PHOTO QUALITY setting and use a higher grade cardstock. You may have to change the setting for “paper type” on your printer in order to feed cardstock paper through the rollers. Sometimes setting your printer paper type to semi-glossy photo paper will yield a clearer image.Testing print quality before settling on the one you want to color will help, and once you know how your printer works with my images, every print should yield the same quality results.

Imagine ThatDigistampJPEG images have a white frame around the image.These will print on cardstock or patterned paper through your computer without showing the white around the image.However, if you want to import an image into a digital or photo editing program, I recommend you use the PNG file included in your order.NOTE: Your photo editing or digital design program must accept PNG formats to work.

Once images are printed, be sure to wait a couple minutes for the printer ink to dry completely. Then, simply trim and use as desired.

Coloring Images

Printer ink quality varies, so success in coloring depends on your printer.Most ink jet printers use ink that is compatible with alcohol –based ink such as Copic markers.Usually ink jet printers use water soluble ink, so water-based inks won’t work for coloring as the printed lines will blur and run.There are printers that use non-water soluble inks and in that case, water-based coloring mediums could work.You will have to experiment to see what works best with your printer.Light Copic colors may bleed slightly even with water-soluble ink, so avoid coloring directly over lines with lightest colors.Try printing on fast draft mode.
