Like the notecards. Decided to print my own Christmas Cards this year and these seemed like the perfect option. The 8.5 x 11 card stock was a nice weight and separated without any problems. Problems came when I began trying to print. I have 3 HP printers in the house 1 Officejet 1 Deskjet and an older LaserJet that gets used for specific print jobs. Getting the notecard stock to feed was the first problem. (All printers feed 20# paper stock with no problems.) Tried cleaning feed rollers but it didn't help. Ended up having to sit and give each piece a slight push to get it to feed into the Deskjet printer 160 plus cards 2 sides. (2 paper trays in the Officejet printer and neither one would feed the notecard stock.) Next came envelopes. Officejet would feed them but not consistently and not straight. (It works fine with my #10 business envelopes.) Desk Jet had similar problems and the envelopes were so short the LaserJet wouldn't keep them in position. Ended up printing address labels and sticking those on the envelopes. The main problem is (in the printers I have) the card stock gets picked up and has to almost immediately make a 90 degree or greater turn. If I had printers with new feed rollers the results may have been better but when the rollers have moved thousands of sheets of paper they have a problem dealing with card stock. Would probably be better if the printer could feed the paper straight through like the old mimeograph and spirit duplicator machines or printing presses but I don't know of any of the current printers (in my price range) that do that. Suggestion: If you have an older printer see if you can replace the feed roller(s). Get a couple of post cards or similar stock and see if they will feed through the printer. If they do this option will probably work fine. If not consider a new printer or another option.
10 sheets of this paper resulted in 3 sheets actually printed. Kept jamming in the printer. Avery Quarter Card stock does not. Drove around until I found the Avery. Don't know what to do with this Staples box. Of course it has 100 sheets and I really only needed 20.
Asked for half fold cards to print Christmas cards. Was looking for Avery. Not available. Associate showed me Staples which I purchased. Won't use again. Trouble printing thru my HP printer which I never had problem with before and just noticed that I purchased quarter fold cards - not the half fold which I thought I purchased. It is a challenge to print my cards!!
Been purchasing Staples matte notecards for years. Each year I use them to make my own original Christmas cards. Also use them throughout the year to make personal original birthday cards. So much more budget friendly than buying cards in a card store.
