Beautiful fine paper

The shimmer on this one is great. I tested it in different situations, the paper I tested is a 107 lb cover. Inkjet printer I used a Canon Pixma Pro-100 to print from the manual feed. The printer grabbed this thick paper with no problem. The ink has color accuracy issues on this paper. No matter what colors I tried to print on this paper, the result was a silvery gray. Make sure your printer can handle this paper thickness and do not use a conventional paper slot. You need a manual feed slot that doesn't bend the paper a lot. Laser printer I used a Brother HL-L2350DW compact monochrome laser printer for testing. . The printer handled this paper well via the manual feed slot. Very crisp blacks and crisp lines on text. Minc Foil Applicator I've been struggling with this paper on the minc, anything above the heat temp "2" will result in the foil sticking to the shimmery particles in the paper. Laser cutting This paper cuts very well on a laser cutter. All in all a great shimmering paper, reminds me a lot of Cordenon Stardream metallic shimmering paper. I don't recommend this for inkjet applications where color accuracy is important.

Pros
  • metallic finish on both sides.
Cons
  • There are new competitors
