47lb Premium Matte

As stated in the description has a smooth, bright white finish that produces brilliant colors and sharp details from any inkjet printer.\n\nFor this holiday season, my card to close friends is a book of my B&W photographs. I needed a paper that was sturdy but not too thick so I could have 10 pages plus cover to bind with a heavy-duty stapler. I purchased multiple sizes from 4x6 to 8.5x11 to build prototypes to decide which size I would send. I chose the 4x6 for the production version to fit in an appropriate envelope and have an affordable postage cost.\n\nTo say the least the paper is consistent and has worked out GREAT!

John Gochis, Feb 26, 2026

I use this paper exclusively for customers who want beautiful prints for a low price. Holds color very well and has never let me down.

Very satisfied customer

Louis Rabinowitz, Feb 02, 2026

I've been enjoying printing cards on this stock. They are of the same matte quality as the 8x10 papers I use to print my photos. They are very easy to fold and make a nice visual and tactile presentation.

Smooth finish - great quality

irnart, Jan 19, 2026

I am very happy with the quality of this paper, I use it for my sticker and keychain packaging. It prints beautifully and it has just the right weight for the backing cards and bag toppers. 10/10 would recommend
