Paper for PL journaling cards?
What are you ladies' recommendations for printing journaling cards for PL? I usually use presentation paper for hybrid projects. In the past, I've made greeting cards, for the most part. I'm finding that the presentation paper is too....flimsy, I guess, for these journaling cards. The colors are nice, but it's not the best to write on with a pen. Regular cardstock seems to print colors so muted...I'm hoping there's another option out there! I'm using an HP Photosmart D7260 inkjet, if that matters. Thanks!

I'm curious on this too. I've been using cardstock, but you're right...it is a little muted.

I've been printing on double sided matte presentation paper and it's not flimsy in the least

I'm using white Bazzill basics in orange peel texture. My colors are printing true to life.

I don't know which type of presentation paper you are using, but I use Epson's Premium Presentation Paper Matte for cards (including notecards that I wrote a fair amount on) and don't find it flimsy or hard to write on.

Make sure you double check the lb weight or the thickness of the paper... for example, your HP paper is 32lb.... and it think the epson is 42 or 48lb... so the epson will be more sturdy, closer to cardstock weight... where as 20lb is like copy paper...

I've never had problems printing on cardstock. That's what I usually use.

**Update**
I ordered the Epson presentation paper and loooove it! Nice weight and true colors- I didn't plan on redoing my PL cards in my album, but with the new paper and my own font from Darcy, I decided to do a few. I took a auick picture, sorry, the lighting isn't the greatest. The cardstock cards are on the bottom and the presentation paper ones are on the top, you can see that the colors are richer. I would definitely recommend this paper for PL albums! DSC_0012 by loral15, on Flickr |
