I found that precut paper to be terribly expensive for a run of 
cards.  I selected the A7 size as a good compromise between 
image area and convenient size to handle.

What I do is print letter size paper on my 1160 or 1280 and then 
trim to 7 x 10 with a niffty plastic paper trimmer which cuts w/a 
single edge razor.  I found this device at PhotoPlus 2yrs ago.  
The rumor was Kaldess/Brandt (sp?) was going to distribute it.  
You can stack 5 sheets to cut at once.

For paper, I was using EAM until the logo appeared on the back.  
Then I switched to EHM.  I'm using the last of my 
Weber-Valentine paper (there's a piezo profile), but I don't much 
care for the paper.  PhotoRag can be a bit difficult to write on the 
back depending on your writing implement.  Museo is nice, but I 
don't like the way it prints.

Staples does not carry A7 envelopes unfortunately.  These are 
the ones I'm using from APEC:
