[shaynesgirl]

For those of you printing digital journal cards to use in your hybrid proejct life, what archival paper have you found works best?

The two I use the are Staples Photo Supreme Double Sided Matte and Epson Double Sided Premium Presentation Paper, Matte Finish. Both go on sale at Staples fairly often.

I use Canon Matte Photo Paper or Red River Polar Matte. Both work really well.

I'm ordering the Canon paper from Amazon since I'm Christine's new hybrid stalker.

If you're using an Inkjet, I second the Epson presentation paper Laura mentioned. I love how things print on this paper.

I've heard great things about the Red River papers. Christine, do you have any others besides the matte that you use for crafting? I think I will place an order and test them out.

I am using the Epson Premium Presentation paper, and it does great for journal cards, but only okay for pictures.

I agree with the preference of matte presentation paper for all my hybrid stuff. BUT I have no idea what the archival quality is. I doubt either the paper or the ink I use are archival safe. Personally, I'm not concerned about it, but since you asked about archival paper..

I've heard great things about the Red River papers. Christine, do you have any others besides the matte that you use for crafting? I think I will place an order and test them out.

I've tried them and I really liked them. Their linen paper is gorgeous!

Oh, I know what paper you're talking about, and I use this, too! I love how heavy it is. I use a laser printer, and it prints great on this paper. It's mainly what I used in my December Daily album.

If you follow their Twitter account they'll give you a coupon code to get a sample pack of all their papers for really cheap. Then you can figure out which ones you like the best!

I use the paper that Lauren mentioned. I have noticed that the color is a bit off, but it could be my printer settings.

I found this article today about printing journal cards on different types of paper. I thought it was helpful to see the difference!
