Best Multi use paper

I love the weight and feel of this paper when I need matte prints-- and it prints everything so beautifully.

I use this paper for greeting cards, making bookmarks, and trading cards. It takes to lamination very well (when I need to laminate my bookmarks and trading cards).

I sell a lot of bookmarks, and this is 100% the paper I use.

fantastic paper

JANA PIERCE, Aug 11, 2026

this paper has taken my prints to a whole new level! I was struggling with faded looking prints until I realized it was the part and not the printer giving me issues. I do have one question. Sometimes I can print many items successfully and other times I get the last 15% unprinted. Is this because the paper is too thick for my Canon printer? Im not sure why it only happens periodically.

Best Quality for my small notecards

Ruth Hansma, Aug 07, 2026

I make and sell packaged 3.5" x 5" notecard sets and this size is perfect! But most of all, the quality of the paper is THE BEST.

Patricia Perez, Jul 11, 2026

Absolutely love this paper. As someone who has issues with how things feel this paper really feels smooth. The colors show really well. Will be making more greeting cards with this paper.
