This product was just perfect!

This paper was perfect for our Circle of Friends Club. We are big advocates of Relay For Life and the bright colors were attractive and very eye catching. We were able to print four tickets per page. Since this purchase other members of the club have bought this paper and we haven't been dissapointed at all. We love all the bright neon colors that are so attracting to everyone. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to achieve a professional and expensive look for a project that costs very little!
I use 100lb cardstock on products I order from an online print shop. When I wanted to try printing some of these materials in-house I assumed this 110-lb stock would be at least as think as the 100lb stuff I'd been using. No way! It's much thinner; flimsy unprofessional for my purposes easy to bend the corners. Also I used it in a really high-rez inkjet printer but the ink bleeds into the fibers of the cardstock. It does not produce a sharp professional result. Unfortunately I bought the large pack of this stuff so I'm stuck with it for a while. I'm now looking for some real thick inkjet-compatible cardstock elsewhere.
I have used this paper to print business cards on (laser printer). It isn't as thick as I would prefer but it isn't worth specialty store prices to get that little extra thickness. These are a bright white durable card stock paper with a very smooth surface.
I have used this product for cards company brochures portfolio pieces and even resumes! It works great in both my HP Photosmart 8200 and 10 year old HP DeskJet 932C. Great product!
