You can now do art craft with a printer

By Alejandro Burgess


Photo kiosks and online printing sites take away the hassle out of photo printing. If you want to read a book or magazine, you can use your smartphone or E-book readers to read them without printing or buying paper books. Unless you have a student in your home or your work requires you to make a lot of paperwork, your Canon printer is probably just in one corner and gathering dust. However, with the economy still recovering from the recession, your humble and ignored printer can actually be a good source of cheap entertainment.

In this article, you will find out some cool and fun activities that you can do with your printer. The first is that you can create an art craft or printer-craft models. In toy stores, you can see some toys that need to be assembled before you can play with them or display them. You can now print these assembly models with the many websites available. All you need to do is print the cut-outs on hard paper, cut them and begin assembly.

You also do not have to spend some cash on printing calling or business cards from any printing shop. You can now install a program that offers many designs or even make your own. If you are not that fond of those programs, you can download a template from the internet and simply fill-in the blanks with your details. After you have done this, you will then print them on specialty paper, cut them into card pieces and start spreading them.

You can also make a photo montage with your old printer. To put it simply, a photo montage are several images that are joined together to make a coherent looking picture. The creator simply prints out several images that where he or she then picks out certain aspects in them and brings them together to create on big picture. The printer's job is to do the printing and all you need to do is cut the needed elements and viola a beautiful picture.

Your printer is also capable of creating wall-sized posters. Posters are very big things among many people because they help in personalizing a room or do some hero or idol worship. However, a printer cannot print a poster beyond an A4-sized paper. Not anymore because you can now download a software that can render an image into several pieces. Each piece is printed and then all you need to do is assemble them on the wall and you have a big poster on your wall.

These are just some of fun things that you can do with your printer. They are not just limited to printing documents and images now. So grab hold of your printer now and get started to have fun.
