In the early 1970's Marcia Joslin launched her career as the first woman Puzzlemaker, producing personalized jigsaw puzzles in a variety of shapes, sizes and number of pieces. Custom jigsaw puzzles are made from photos, magazine pages, children's drawings or anything printed on paper.
Now she makes precut blank jigsaw puzzles which were especially created to be used with heat transfers made from color laser copiers, sublimation, ink jet transfers, etc.
And now, for the very first time, millions of do-it-yourselfers can use their home computer, inkjet printer and household iron to create a magnificent one of a kind Personalized Photo Jigsaw Puzzle. Many large and small companies are utilizing jigsaw puzzles for their special impact promotions.
There are many “competitive” puzzles that consist of plain, inexpensive fabric mounted on cardboard that are NOT thoroughly cut through. In ALL instances, their cutting die does not go through to all the ends of the puzzle pieces. As a result, it is difficult to pull each puzzle piece apart, leaving tabs of cardboard on each puzzle piece. Remember the “dangling chads” in the Florida election? Scores of “dangling chads” show up on their completed puzzles together with dull and mottled colors.
