The cards are overall very good. They take the color from an inkjet printer very nicely with excellent brightness and saturation. The perforation between cards could be a little cleaner and the score line for the fold was faint.
The Staples Notecard stock reproduces color very well on my Epson printer. The only problem is when separating the cards. The edge is not clean-leaves a rough edge. I usually cut the cards apart on my trimmer but this adds an extra step. The weight of the stock is okay and the envelopes are okay also.

Great quality for our Christmas cards

Have used these for years to make custom Christmas cards. Sometimes have trouble lining up images to fit available space but that may be a function of the printer rather than the card.

I am a photographer and artist. I use these cards to create photo quality Thank You notes that I send to my customers. This is a great product but I would prefer a glossy surface in the note card size. Please make a Staples brand glossy card stock! :)

I create notecards using my photographs. I do this and donate them to various organizations and they use them for fund raisers and I do it for my friends as gifts. I appreciate the quality of the notecards. I would rather use Staples brand than many of the other brands I have tried.

We'd use this again because the final product turned out great but we think there's room for some basic improvements that would make the experience much better.

We made Christmas cards and the final product looked wonderful but getting there was frustrating. The online layout process was much more difficult in some ways than it needed be. For example fitting images into the predesigned box of the card template was very difficult because there's no cropping tool and the box size is not provided so we had to repeatedly crop images using our own software (and best guess) and then start a new upload each time to try for a good fit. Once all modifying and customizing was done it would have been very helpful if there was a print option (even with the word SAMPLE across it to protect their product from theft) to alleviate anxiety that the final product would appear as expected especially as the online image is not true scale to the finished product. The finished product we received in the mail was really beautiful and we'd do it again for that alone but I think the process could be more user friendly. Also of note the envelope ink (where our return address was printed) smears ridiculously easily; our home printer sets ink better than what they used!
