Not Really Turquoise
on June 7, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
We use this "turquoise" paper - which is not turquoise at all just light blue - for our invoices at the office. We have definite issues with the paper sticking together and running two at a time rather than individually. It is very annoying when we have a two-page invoice that we are trying to make two copies of. We can insert four pages of this paper and have only two run through on the colored paper and the other comes through on white. It's a big waste of time.
I love making worksheets and activity pages more interesting and clip art and the use of colorful paper is a great way to get attetnion of students. Certificates are better when on colored paper too. If the price could be a bit lower to help out teachers that would make it even better!!
I needed to use multiple shades of pastel colors to make copies of a game for my son's baby shower (since we do not know the gender of their baby yet!). Your color selection of paper products was fantastic so I was able to buy every shade I desired. My only question would be why the pastel assortment came in 400 sheets per package when other colors came in 500 sheets per package for the same price (usually the darker colors cost more than the lighter ones). As always your paper ran through the copier flawlessly.
I publish a newsletter (on paper!)on a budget. On plain white paper my economical black-and-white format with pictures is drab and cold. On this pretty 11"x17" pastel-colored paper I get a 4-page newsletter that is a pleasure to look at. There are 5 colors in each packet with 50 sheets in each color. I like to buy 4 packets at a time so that I can print all 200 copies of one issue in the same color and I try to use green in March blue in January goldenrod in November. This both sets the mood and makes them easily identifiable when different issues are stacked together.
