Too Thick
on September 28, 2009
Posted by: Paula K.
We attempted to use the business cards in a top loading epson printer and never got it to work. The paper is too thick to make the bend and we ended up purchasing the Avery brand that was thinner and would bend fine.
The Staples cards are a good price and easy use but not so easy to separate. Also something in the texture makes my printer jam over and over. The Avery labels pop apart with a snap! and rarely jam my machine.
Thinking they were similar products I selected these over the Avery "Clean Edge" business cards to save a couple of bucks and was disappointed. These cards are not terrible but I found them somewhat difficult to remove from the sheet. Once removed the perforations along the edges were readily visible unlike the Avery which are surprisingly clean.
I use these to print up business cards advertising my store and my furniture-assembly service. I've tried several brands of card stock and this holds its shape best while going through the printer reducing jams & misfeeds. Also because the cards don't separate until one deliberately creases along a perforation I can carry sheets of the cards to a destination - much less fuss than carrying a stack of cards.
