DIY Thermography using inkjet printer!
It's true that the ink takes a LONG time to dry and usually a problem. However, I've found this is perfect for doing raised print/thermography printing using embossing powder. You do need to play around with your printer settings so that the printer lays down a good layer on ink and that you have no ink smudging. I'm using an Epson R3000 and had to bring down the ink density, turn off the he high speed option, and use the highest quality setting/highest DPI output. Once the sheet is done I run it over to an embossing station that I setup to pour embossing powder on the sheet while the ink is still wet; making sure you gently shake the paper around to make sure your cover the entire page. I found using super fine grain powder worked the best. Then shake the sheet with a little more force for 20-30 seconds to get rid of any extra powder sitting on the sheet and run a HOT heat gun over the sheet to melt the embossing powder and violà: you have done thermography/raised ink printing! This was my process but you'll want to practice/develop your own technique based on the tools you have.

Best THICK Paper I’ve found in 3 yrs of Searching!
I use this paper for my online boutiques hang tags! I print off sheets at a time, then cut with a heavy duty steel paper cutter- the guillotine kind of cutter.. It’s thick enough to withstand folding and bending of the clothing I ship out, yet thin enough to go thru my Samsung laser printer.I love the feel and softness of this paper too.

True Card Stock Paper
My Dell 625cdw color laser printer handles the paper no problems. However, because its so thick the printer will not auto-duplex without problems. I use this paper for making my own greeting cards and as mentioned in some of the reviews the paper does break a little bit of the coating off at the fold joint.To be fair, the 110lb card stock I've been using for years for greeting cards does the same thing. Further, if you fold a lot of paper as I do... so does regular printer (break when folded).The short of it... while I love the feel of the paper (true card stock) I'm not certain that I'd purchase this paper again.

Other then One Issue, a Great Product
I own a small greeting card company and needed some quality paper to print high definition images. This paper is great- super think and has a nice glossy/matt finish that gives the prints a wonderful and professional look. Honestly, however, the paper was a little too thick for my needs but I should have known better. The real problem I had, however, was that when Ii printed with black inkjet ink (I have the cannon Pixma mp 250) the ink did not dry! I even left it for a few days but it was still wet! Not really sure why that happened, it may have just been my ink? Other than that a great product.

Excellent Paper!
This was fantastic paper! It is thick enough for wedding/baby shower/bridal shower invites and really makes the ink POP! I had no idea paper could affect the way ink printed! I first printed a copy on my regular printer paper and it looked very faded and different shades of color than what was on screen. I then printed on this heavy paper and it came out exactly like what was shown on screen! I will definitely be buying more of this!

Not good for inkjet printing - No thicker than alternative paper
I compared a sheet of this paper with a sheet from a pack of these:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018REFQMCBoth papers measure as exactly 13.5 mils thick.The bending strength of the two sheets are very comparable.This paper feels slick and smooth and is slightly glossy, appears to have been coated with something. The other paper is matte.I printed a test page on two different inkjet printers. One uses dye black ink, the other uses pigment black ink.The HP desktop all-in-one printer would not feed this paper. Its rubber rollers could not get a grip on the surface of this paper, so it aborted the job with an error message. There was no problem feeding the other paper - so the thickness is not the (only) issue. The other paper printed as expected, i.e. very good, as with any other plain paper.The DesignJet had no problem feeding both papers from its tray. With this paper, the quality of the printed image was terrible. The ink did dry after about 5 minutes, but the coating on this paper led to a splotchy and ugly result. With the other paper, the image quality is as expected, i.e. very good, as with any other plain paper.Bottom line - if you need strong cardstock that you can print on with an inkjet printer (whether dye or pigment type ink) the paper linked to above is the better choice. It is a little disappointing because the look and feel of this paper is nice... it just doesn't seem to work with inkjet printing.

Love this paper!
This paper really retains ink and the color looks a lot more vibrant! I love it. I’ve ordered twice. Recommend it and will continue to use for my business.

Not For Inkjet Printers
This paper is terrible for inkjet printers, it has a sheen to it, almost like luster photo paper. The ink will not absorb and dry. I've tried 4 different printer settings, and all cards smudge, even after allowing to dry 24 hrs. Do NOT buy this if you have an inkjet printer!
