    heavy card stock (110-120 lb) with excellent color brightness?

    I draw and print note cards and invitations that I sell from my small home business. They are mostly simple, cartoonish drawings, nothing of a photographic detail quality. I print using an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 inkjet printer. I am looking for recommendations for a heavy card stock...

    Pantone Color Bridge for RGB matching?

    I don't think I did a good job explaining how I want to use it. I want to take a fan deck and hold it up to my card stock to find a matching (or close) color. Then, I want to use the RGB (or Pantone or whatever) values when I put the colors into my designs and text. Thus, the card stock is...

    Pantone Color Bridge for RGB matching?

    Right now, I do not have photoshop. (I have elements, but not the full photoshop yet.) I've actually just been using Publisher and entering my RGB values. It's worked fairly well, but like I said, I'd like to compare a swatch to the card stock and then match the colors when I enter the RGB...

    Coated paper for an inkjet?

    So, what you're saying is, I ideally should've gotten a laser printer? Haha. Thanks for all of the tips. I don't quite speak the lingo that well though, so could you explain what you mean by converting to pigment ink? Of all of the options you suggested, is that the most cost effective way to...

    Coated paper for an inkjet?

    At the recommendation of a photographer friend, I just purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R2800. So far, seems to be a good machine. But, I would really like to print on coated cardstock, preferably cover weight of 80 or even 100 lb. Does this exist for inkjets? I want glossy, semi-gloss, even a...
