Red And White Print Card Stock Paper

I use this Epson 4x6 paper to print out pictures that I affix to Strathmore card stock. Between my printer and this paper the images come out beautifully. Initially I was going to order through Epson directly and also checked out Amazon but got a much better deal with B&H. The only issue is that unlike some items from B&H it took about 7 days for them to arrive.

This paper has a thick, almost card stock feel to it, which is very noticeable compared to the more flimsy quality of ordinary print papers. This requires adjusting my platen gap and print head height to print on my Epson printer, but not a big deal. While called glossy, the sheen from the surface is much less than most glossy papers; not a bad thing per se, just be aware if this is important to you. The paper has a surface texture that can be seen when viewed at an oblique angle to the light. Personally, I like it, but it's different from the usual glossy paper types. This paper is capable to reproducing very high detail, which is expected from glossy type papers. My Epson inks dry down and de-fume much quicker with this paper; standard glossy papers take much longer in my fairly humid and cool environment. A good printing profile is available from the Hahnemuhle website, along with some instructions for it's use. No complaints, and will use it for my best work.

IT's a white card, instead of always looking for the piece of paper your sure you have, get the card.

I print in black and white. This paper is absolutely everything I knew it would be.

I love this paper. I usually print black and white, but it works very well with color, too.

Love the bright white paper .. really makes the blue print pop!

its white. its a card. sums it up. still gets scratched up, but better than a piece of paper that gets bent up.

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!

If you print black and white photos stock up on this stuff as the Pro-300 uses a lot of it. The Pro-300 with OEM inks like this are costing me about $0.00909 to $0.01015 per square inch or an average of $0.01 per square inch. With the amount I'm printing I am going through one of these every 1.5-2 weeks.

On occasion I test various of my white balance gray cards. Colorchecker, Robin Myers, WhiBal, etc. It is my impression this Kodak card is very accurate for white balance use as well as its main purpose as for an exposure reference. The method I use is to shoot my D700 using a fixed white balance temp in menu, a challenging indoor light, and several targets together. Then I use NX2 white balance tool. Recent test, Colorchecker gray box no. 2 was 0.7 red, 2.47 blue slope, Kodak card was 0.7 red 2.48 blue slope. Not likely to notice this difference with your eye. All had the same red slope, some had more blue to 2.51. Not sure if this is accurate but it seems close enough to me. Only disadvantage is that it is paint on paper layered on cardboard. Same with Colorchecker. will wearout eventually.
