Morning :)
i print out a lot of my own things for my cardmaking, backing papers, decoupage images etc, but am struggerling with finding the right paper
at the momment i use 120gsm matte paper, but have been watching create and craft and last night they had a show on around 12ish and they were using a satin finish paper, it has a sheen to it but not glossy like photo paper, i need it at around 120gsm to 150 gsm, as it would be great for the decoupage and papers, but i cant seem to find any anywhere, does anybody know?
thanks

Hi ammie, I use HP laserjet soft gloss paper which is 120gsm, its coated on both sides and I find is really nice to work with.
I got it in a well know computer store and got it very cheap on their bargin shelf.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ammie

I use the HP Everyday Photo Paper and it is Semi-Glossy so is fabulous for decoupage etc to be printed on, I got mine at the fabulous catalogue shop beginning with A and most towns have them!!!! I got mine when they were doing buy one get one free which they do quite often for this paper it was something like £10.49 but you get 100 sheets which if you only use it to print off decoupage sheets is really good value
