It works but...
It works like shrinky dinks normally do but after baking the cut out shapes have a rough texture to them. Not scratchy but you can definitely feel the roughness that regular color and bake shrinky dink film doesn't have.
Other than that it worked fairly well for what I had in mind which was printing out family photos and creating gifts for family members. Note of warning, darker pictures will seem MUCH darker after shrinking so if you have a way of lightening the pics before you print and bake them your pieces will look better in the finished product. Black&White photos came out just as nice and the color pics. One last thing, which I think was my fault for free hand cutting and rounding edges of my pics, is that some (not all) of my pics shrank at an angle making the rectangles and squares offset.
All of the things I listed above wouldn't keep me from using this product again, but I know more now than I did before I wasted a few sheets. I would use them again, but better tools, planning, and prepping photos prior will be necessary. Hope my trial and errors help you out in advance if you're interested in using this product!
