Review on Limited Papers (TM) Shimmer Pure White Pearl: Premium Digital Metallic Stationary Paper for Business, Invitations, Weddings, and More - Various Sizes (8.5 x 11, 107 Cover) by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sturdy cardboard - ideal for postcards. Does NOT print well.

I have received envelope 107. It is a beautiful and shimmering pearl color. Thickness/weight similar to Stardream case. However, please do not assume that this cover material is easy to print on. It is too heavy and the ink tends to smear when printed. I have tried this cover material on two laser printers (not included) and an HP inkjet printer. The inkjet printer also made a mistake and only printed half a page. Even if the paper is left for a few minutes, the ink will smear. Maybe an 80lb text or a 92lb cover is fine to print, but this heavy cover isn't. I saw another review from someone who has successfully printed on this paper; Both my Dell laser printers and my HP laser printers would not pick up media from either the plain paper tray or the manual feed slot. One of the reviewers said that this cover material is not suitable for cards, he may have been given a lighter material; it is very expensive for postcards. This is a very expensive stock, about $0.50 for a 107 cover. If you have a specific use in mind, this is definitely a good paper. However, be careful if you're thinking of printing on it. You may be very disappointed.

Pros
  • 100 sheets/pack/envelope
