Wow!
I find myself in a new world feeling a little lost. I made a purchase without really knowing what I getting myself into. Learning is an important part of my life. At seventy seven I enrolled in a Masters in Architecture program being more interested in structured learning than obtaining the degree. I never considered that learning how to print was going to become an educational experience. If I had gone to Staples and purchased a package of paper the advertising I had prepared would have been in the mail already. I will be spending time on your web site to learn how to print starting a little later today.\r\nI didn't delete the presentation I had prepared as I will cut and paste from it. I'll be spending the next week trying different rendering techniques while reducing the amount of text I had planned using. The last minute purchase of a sample package has turned out to be a smart move as I will be using it all as graphics and text will be applied to this new media in a different way.\r\nBe prepared for some questions. Doing a web search to find something different turned out to be a smart move and I feel the few week delay will be worth it. Yes, I'm excited.\r\n

Great paper for magnets and buttons

David Oliver, Nov 26, 2025

I decided to try this paper for making buttons and magnets with my Tecre machines based off of another review of this paper for the same purpose. I'm happy to report that it looks and works great. I'm very pleased. Button and magnet makers proceed with confidence!

Perfect for Pinback Buttons

Kate Estrop, Sep 16, 2025

When I switched to an Eco-Tank photo printer, I was disappointed in the drab printing on the regular paper I had been using for pinback button designs. Then I discovered this 32-lb photo paper and my button colors and popping off the page again!
