Favorite paper for fine art prints!

Mabry, Aug 15, 2022 - cherrygunk.com

I use the premium matte plus for all of my giclee prints and they are STUNNING. Very soft and non reflective, this paper is perfect for creating fine art reproductions at a good cost.

Great card stock

Lee, Jul 24, 2022

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

James E. Rush, May 15, 2022

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.

Score works

Paul Albert, May 11, 2022

Very nice surface for a greeting card.

Size is fine to fit the availability of the proper sized envelope.

And the score works just perfect.
