Hi Shawn and anyone else pondering this question. I'd suggest you consider using a Fine Art paper. There are plenty made for inkjet printers now. You can buy a few sample packs for only a few dollars each and see if there are any that match what you want in you card's paper.
I'd suggest that higher quality/value specimens may deserve a higher quality paper. Fine art papers will probably be archival too, so very long provenance can be considered. Look for papers that have a high Grams per Square Meter (GSM). I'm guessing you'd like something above 300 GSM. I'm sure there are people more expert in this area than I am. Samples can be found on the Adorama website. I've been using them since the 80's. A search of Fine Art papers is here: http://tinyurl.com/6xxuct7 A few more are on page one as well. Hope this helps. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 --- On Sat, 3/5/11, Shawn Alan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Listers and night owls or > morning people > > > > I agree about signing ID cards.
