I'm looking for a shimmer paper for wedding invites, do I want the cardstock or the text paper? I don't want it to be too heavy or too light.

if you are using alone, card stock. If using backed with card stock, I would use the paper. I backed with Black cardstock and the paper was perfect weight.

You want the card stock. I got the text for my programs and I wished it were a little heavier.

I have a print shop and have used just about every weight of this paper! The text weight isn't great, it is only a bit thicker than copy paper and dents really bad and easily! With the cardstock, try to stay around 88lb or 92lb because some of their shimmer papers over 100lb won't run through even my best printers.

The one pictured is probably about twice as thick as standard Xerox paper. It is 44lb. The one I have is 27lb and is about as thick as standard Xerox paper. Usually the thicker card stock is around 80lb and up. Usually I get 120lb for business card thick. This should be thicker but still not cardstock. It will be like two sheets of Xerox paper thick I imagine.

I'm not familiar with the paper you refer to, so can't answer your question. However, I can tell you that this is very smooth, high quality paper and is heavier that card stock. It is appropriate weight for a pamphlet cover. Hope that helps.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality.Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards.Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

I had trouble with heavy stock paper. The rollers jam the paper. So, I would expect that heavy card stock might. But, if you're referring to invitation or christmas card stock paper, it will work, but you can't do a very long run. Better to print in batches. Hope this helps.

I used mine for wedding invitations as well. They didn't have any graphics but there were some cool fonts and you can get it in several different colors. After you order it they send you an email with all the options and you just email back with your choice.

OK, I have read the manual and read LOTS of online reviews and my answer would be it is NOT recommended for cardstock. People who HAVE run cardstock through it have eventually had trouble with the rollers not grabbing. There is a 'mode' for "Epson Presentation Paper - Heavyweight Matte" which is #44. The cardstock I have is #65. IF you need to run primarily cardstock, I would advise against it. OR be sure to change the setting to the Presentation Paper mode. If you can get by with a 44 pound weight paper, then it seems that this printer can handle it. I would guess an occasional piece of cardstock won't kill it but if you primarily print cardstock you might want a more robust printer. Hope this helps! PS. I usually use a high quality paper to print normal copies and it's #22 - just for comparison.

Depends on the paper you are using. Standard copy paper? Yes. Cardstock, no. I was using 40lb gloss paper and it did not bleed through.

Plain paper is fine. We use Willcopy Ultra - suitable for ink jet and laser printers.

I use any paper that is not "shiny". you can also mix in about 25% organic matter(dried leaves,twigs, grass, etc.). I just use a cheap paper shredder. size doesn't really matter much.

I did use copy paper and was fine for awhile, and then the light just was in one place, Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby and brought me an adult one with 40% coupon and so, it lasted awhile, But if you are going to be using it a lot like I was invest in a upgraded one from the art dept. If for a child It will be good for awhile. I Did use copy paper, tried cardstock that was to heavy. Good Luck on which ever you decide.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock.This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

I would get a glossier high grade paper for pictures ....this is "good" ...but not BEST, imo ...

They are both on a single sheet. For the invitation, you use an insert and put it between the pressed flower covering. For the Reply cards, it comes on a sheet of two cards and you just tear them apart (They're regular sized reply cards).

I've printed on cardstock, not sure if that's 100 LB or not- I make my own greeting cards from paintings I've done. It worked as well as on the regular weight paper. I do bump up the black a little when printing scans.

Pressed flowers....it is a handmade/natural style paper, so it is a bit textured and includes flowers in it. You don't print on this page, it just goes under the vellum piece, so it doesn't effect the legiblity of your invitation.
