Business Card Paper Stock Premium Standard

I've been using Matte HW, now Premium Presentation Paper Matte, for a long time. It's always been reasonably priced, it has excellent archival qualities, and it looks great in a frame. Big feature for me is being able to get it in standard photo paper sizes of 8x10 and 11x14. That means it fits nicely in standard precut mats. It's my default printing paper and has been for seven years.

I have been using the Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth paper for quality art prints on both 8.5" x 11" and 13" x 19" stock. The results are wonderful. I use Canon's Pro Premium Matte for proofing before printing on their fine art paper using the Pixma Pro-10. The Pro-10 handles this stock nicely, and Canon's Print Studio Pro software on my MacBook makes printing straight forward!

I use this paper or Epson Premium Luster for all of the posters I sell in my business. I get a lot of great feedback, stating that the quality of the poster is excellent!

This is my second Falcon Paper Cutter. The first one lasted over 20 years and went to several continents with me and cut reams and reams of paper and card stock. It finally broke this year and I was heartbroken as I was having a hard time finding a new one. So I was ecstatic when I discovered that it was still made and was available at a good price. I like the fact that you can easily replace the blades and the cut is sharp and crisp every time whether cutting several sheets of paper, photos, or card stock. It's a great little cutter!

I use this paper and the 13x19 size with my Epson R2000 printer. My formerly standard paper was Epson Ultra Premium Matte, which I still like very much. By comparison though, this paper looks richer and the colors have more depth. You seem to be looking into the paper rather than just at the surface. I initially had some trouble getting it to feed right, but found a solution. When feeding it through the single sheet feeder I keep a slight amount of pressure on the paper until the printer grabs it.

This has been my standard card.

After first ordering one of these paper trays from another company and waiting over the holidays then into the the new year my patience was tried, no paper tray. When called, oh oops, it's out of stock and no one happened to think it might be a good idea to call and let me know. Started checking around found B&H, I explained what had happened and wanted to check they had the paper tray in stock. They Did. Pleasant to do business with, got the tray within a week and I am asking myself why would anyone do business with company A when B&H has such wonderful customer service. Getting ready to order more supplies, B&H is the one we will be calling. The paper tray, arrived in perfect condition, easy to add to our printer and the only question I have is to myself...why did we wait so long to get a second tray. Makes printing letter and legal mixed docs so much easier.

I got this tape because the non-premium version was out of stock. It's a great all around tape that you should always have on hand.

I purchased this as an upgrade from my 3750 for 2 main reasons: The screen is larger and I wanted the rear feed and rear slot option. (The rear feed will feed paper from a pop-up area located at back of machine. The rear SLOT will feed paper straight through from back to front (after removing a piece and making an adjustment). The rear slot will print on media up to 1.3mm thick. Anyway - after setting up the printer, I was anxious to experiment with these features (mostly the rear slot, as I wanted to create my own decorative card stock for use with die cutter). I could only find ONE sentence in the entire user manual that addressed selecting the rear slot, and it was a NOTE: It said to select the rear slot, choose the option with the appropriate paper size. I kept choosing 8.5 x 11, but did not realize there were further options. (See first photo). However, to choose rear feed, you go into different settings, first choosing layout, then printer settings, then paper source. See 2nd photo. I think these 2 options should be located in the same place. (I use MacBook with Monterey). I also found one other limitation working from the printer console. There is a nice feature to print decorative card stock or lined paper. If you choose lined paper, you are offered the rear slot as an optional paper source; if you choose decorative card stock, you are not! I believe the rear feeder (which loads and prints without curving the paper around the way the main feeder does) will meet most of my card stock printing needs. After much research, this feeder can handle card stock of 100 pounds (or more).

Super happy with our new printer. It does what it says it will do. Fantastic that I can again use card stock, heavy paper and index cards. Of course, it also prints beautiful photos.
