New to the world of photo paper
I have never had too much success printing my images and having them turn out like they should, but that has all changed. I never knew how much the paper itself made so much difference in the color. I have recently tried the metallic paper and am quite happy with the results. The colors are warm and the image itself is at a whole new level. I can't wait to try some of the other paper options.

I use these all the time -- nothing says thank you like a custom greeting card! Images print sharp and clear and the inside takes black ink perfectly for the message.
The price is right and they would be great for cards you want to sell.

60lb. Premium Matte Plus 7x10 scored Greeting Cards

I have been using this paper for several years to produce greeting cards using my nature photos. The only text I print is a description of what one sees on the cover of the card. Reproduction of my photos is excellent, the stock is sturdy, smooth and a nice white. The stock folds nicely and along with a linen finish envelope makes a nice combination. I am very happy with this paper.
