Description:

The Lost World Jurassic Park Iron-On Gear will have you making dino-art in no time. The program takes you through the process, step-by-step, from choosing your layout and graphics to customization, and finally, printing. Once that part is finished, there are directions for finishing up your project. After that, all ya gotta do is put it on and enjoy the comments on your masterpiece!



Features:

  • Directions are easy to follow.
  • Great variety of layouts and graphics.
  • Import your own digital art, if you want.
  • Customize designs with stamps and paint tools.

Technical Aspects:

This program installed and ran with no problems. The trickiest part of these titles is the ironing - make sure to follow the directions carefully, and you might want to practice before making the official shirt or other project. The box includes the software and two pages of iron-on transfer paper that will work with any ink jet printer (but NOT with laser printers!) and should include a child's t-shirt, as well (the copy I received did not but it had a sticker on the front stating that no shirt was enclosed.) I can't complain about the lack of a shirt because the PrintPaks staff gave me a stack of Lost World Iron-On Gear tshirts at E3 last summer!

Report and Conclusions:

This is one craft titles that boys will enjoy - girls will too, but they may not care for some of the dinosaur graphics - they do look pretty fierce. But if you know someone who is "into" this sort of thing, creating a tshirt, banner, or book bag for them would be a terrifically successful gift! One other thing I've learned about tshirt programs and ironing - smaller graphics work better!
