p.1 #1 · Looking for a certain kind of paper.

I'm looking for some nice paper to print up brochures, contracts, and various other literature when I go to meet clients. Something with a light glossy texture (similar to a heavy magazine paper) would be ideal. I have a Canon MP460 multifunction printer if that matters.

I've currently been playing around with high quality "copy" paper (too thin, bleeds through) and "premium presentation paper" (really thick, hard to turn pages). I want a more flexible paper that looks nice and wont bleed through.

Any ideas?

Take a look at this one from Red River. If you haven't used their papers they are very well made, less expensive than many others and the company has quality service.

Thanks for the link. That looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. At 40 cent a page, though, I'm willing to entertain less expensive options.

Some of the luster InkPress stocks can get you down to 32¢ per sheet. Don't forget to factor in cost of ink.

I'd love to get my paper for <$2.00 per sheet. The Innova Photo Smooth Cotton Duo (printable on both sides) is over $3.00 per sheet in 11 X 17 size. Yeowch!
