Digital BW, The Print

Sam,

I used scored Photo Rag to do my Christmas cards last year. I got it from
Digital Art Supplies and picked up some envelopes at the local stationary
story. Worked out very well. Once through the printer for the text greeting
and then again on the other side for the photo. This year they are selling
it with envelops. Very nice but not cheap.

Subject: [Digital BW] holiday-card stock & envelopes


> Is Hahnemuehle PhotoRag Duo, suitably cut down, a good, if expensive,

> 196-gsm PR Duo for folded cards with a S-N image on the front. Any
