Recycling a Beverage Can to a Digital Print

The other cool thing is that doing this (cutting cans with scissors) actually sharpens scissors.

And that's why I did an update of this video, also on youtube, The carrier sheet part changed too. My ebook on kindle gives the updated version of the entire process. I did things differently in the very beginning which is when this video was done. After printing over 6000 cans the process evolved a lot:)

you should just use sissors instead of tin snips, much cleaner on an aluminum can

@fristerjt Hi- I have an update of this video Recycling Beverage Cans to DIgital Prints Update, that shows printed cans

I use both an Epson R2400 and an Epson 4800 to print most of my digital work. The Epson 4800 will print wider and thicker surfaces then the 2400.

Let me know if you try this and how it goes! I am in the middle of creating a wall of forest patterns. It is 3 ft x 10 ft now and has over 1,000 cans in it:)
