Card Stock - blank cards, greeting card paper
This is an easy-to-use product for making invitations, announcements, or note cards - all custom made with photos, text, clip-art, etc. After printing, they separate cleanly for a professional, store-bought look. A super tool for making your printer earn its keep! Avery Note Cards, 4.25 x 5.5 Inches, Matte, White, Box of 60 (08315)
I've printed dozens and dozens of my own greeting cards using multiple boxes of Avery Inkjet Note Cards (template 8315) using an Epson R1800 photo printer. You get 60 matte-finish white greeting cards and 60 white envelopes in a box. The cards can be printed on BOTH front/back matte surfaces with equally fine results!
These Avery greeting cards are a perfect thickness to offer a real quality feel. I take photography very seriously, and these cards do an excellent job at reproducing photos. I still have a test card that I printed in 2005 and the photo looks just as vivid and sharp today as the day I printed it - a perfect match for Epson archival inks.
I only wish that Epson photo printers were nearly as mechanically reliable as these cards are for printed photos!
Highly recommended!!
I design and make my own cards using a digital camera, software, and an HP ink jet printer. I have used these cards exclusively for several years. The printed cards always look good. There are two cards per sheet, and envelopes are included. You will need to plan on printing an even number of cards. You can't print just one card.
These are very good quality cards that can be printed for any purpose - Thank You, Invitation, X-mas cards etc. etc. Although the box says that they are for inkjet printers, I have used them in Dell, Brother & Samsung laser printers without any problem.
But I did need to download the template from the Microsoft Office web site. The template also works for iWork & Pages in Mac - just open the template from the File menu in Pages. Then I found out that Avery has software providing templates for all its products at its web site. The software is DesignPro for Mac and Wizard for Microsoft Office on Windows and is available for free download at Avery web site. As of July each card and envelope comes to about 28 cents a card. Not bad.
Bottom line - good product, saves from running to store each time you need a different kind of card and then you can also customize the card.
I printed up 40 sets of 8 notecards, using Photoshop Elements. The quality was great, the stock allowed vibrant colors (I do a lot of nature photos). For the money - it is a great deal. Only cost me $2.50 per gift, and that included buying boxes to put the cards in at another website. I plan buy more in the future.
I volunteered to create and print a bunch of thank you cards for a local non-profit after a fund raiser. The cards looked beautiful and professional - printed words and pictures were crisp and clean. I almost bought a less expensive brand, but decided to go with the Avery because of reputation, and I'm happy that I did.
i run a business and these work great to send little "thank you" cards to my clients for doing business with me. They would also work great for just about any type of greeting card. The ink shows up bright and clear. it really depends what type of printer you have as well. i use a lexmark interact s600 and it works great with this product. You must have microsoft office to use the templets. keep that in mind! - Blank Cards - Greeting Card Paper - Avery - Greeting Cards'
