I was wondering if anyone has used these,

They look neat but I was wondering on the size, they are only 2 1/4" wide. any thoughts?
Thanks, Tracy

I haven't used these, I have made my own with my printer though, and they worked fine.

At first these seemed to be pretty expensive, but since you get 3 10" strips, I guess it isn't so bad, if you had to pay to have a sheet of strips printed it would probably cost that or more.

I purchased some and have use them. I purchased from Lucks. They are too expensive other places. Other places buy from Lucks and sells them per sheet. Lucks sell them 36 stripes(12 shhets) per box for $21.60. They come in 3 strips per sheet. So, you get a total of 12 sheets with 3 strips on each sheet. They work fine, just had a little trouble getting it to release from the backing.

I've had problems too until i read that if you put themn in the freezer for about 30 sec- 1 min. it just falls off and it really does.

They have some great designs, I saw them at KitchenKrafts also, but they are expensive.

I got them from Luck's and they have a little different texture than regular edible image sheets. They seem to be more flexibe, and almost like thin nylon. Also they didn't get brittle: I did a cake and only need two of the three strips on the sheet. I left that last one and forgot to put it back into the airtight bag, and it was fine a week later! One thing though.. I didn't like the taste of it (it was my son's birthday, so I got a piece). It didn't completely "melt" into my frosting and was able to peel it off. The kids liked it though.
