Coated stock is back, and it's the best . . . October 30, 2008

. . . for creating a brilliantly colored greeting card on your ink jet printer. This card stock is heavy-weight and has a matte coating on both sides -- no bleeding through on your back-to-back printed cards. The new chroma-based inks -- or other high-quality inks developed by your printer manufacturer -- works perfectly on this stock. I tend to use large areas of color in many of my card projects and I love the rich colors that I am able to show off with these cards. Years ago, 3M was producing some of the best card stock for greeting cards. Their top-of-the-line stock was coated and it gave great results. After 3M left the printing materials market, it was impossible to find coated stock due to environmental concerns. I am so glad paper manufacturers were able to resolve any issues with the coating material. Avery, my new Canon PIXMA printer, and an almost OK greeting card software package help me to produce some very nice products; thanks Avery.
 Who needs Hallmark? January 12, 2008

Well, that's not a fair question. Lots of people need to have others create the words and images that they send to their friends and loved ones. The rest of us have our own ideas. We know what we want to say and how, or we find images of artworks that deliver some message uniquely well. This is for the rest of us.
This form produces two cards from each 8.5x11 sheet - not the biggest size available, but one I use a lot. The card take inkjet printing beautifully, they're lightly scored for precise folding, and, even with the costs of ink and whatnot, come out far cheaper than any store-bought card around. The Avery web site offers templates for aligning your art to the forms, clip art, and other free aids in using these cards. The templates take the guesswork out of laying out the card; I haven't tried the other tools they offer.
I have only two minor complaints. The less important is that the envelopes aren't the most opaque - no big deal unless you have a sensitive message or want opening the envelope to reveal its surprise. The other problem is that the perforated edge that separates the two cards on one sheet doesn't always tear cleanly. Sometimes there's a small but visible amount of fraying, and at best the torn edge feels rougher to a fingertip than the factory-cut edges do. Either way, it's easy to trim off - but annoying to have to trim it.
Neither of these problems is big enough to stop me from using these cards or stop me from coming back for more - I've used hundreds of them. They aren't the fanciest around, but perfectly fine for most kinds of notes and greetings. And, most importantly, these cards carry my own thoughts, not some Hallmark writer's.

This paper makes creating my own greeting cards a snap. They look very professional and people commit how nice it is to get a card like I create.
