Printing Textures

Thanks Bryan

I'll see about that 110# stock.

No on the straight through feed. It feeds from a tray on the lower front of the printer. I'll look at how it feeds the paper. I think it comes from the tray and U curves through the printer mechanism and back out the front above the paper tray feed. 

Thanks

See ya

All the Big-Box stationary stores should have #110 stock.

My old HP1120C has a straight feed (a slot on the back), but the normal path is like yours (up and around)... the only thing I'd watch with the normal feed path, is to make sure the print heads are clean, or it may leave streaks on the page.

I made a trip to Wal-Mart today and picked up a 150 count of 110# white card stock ($6).

I just ran several pages through my printer and it did an excellent job printing several brick and stone textures.

The card stock is heavy enough to glue to the WS risers without warping. This will work fine for me.

Thanks for your help and advise

See ya

....any waterbased products.  They will cause the ink to run and bleed, and warp and wrinkle the card stock.

I suggest a flat polyurethane product sprayed very thinly with an airbrush. Dullcoat will probably work well if sprayed very lightly.  In either case spray so lightly that you will need a second, or even a third, coat to cover well.

Are you sure you want to put a clear coat on the printed card stock?  Take another look at it, there may not be any need to do that.  Take some scraps and experiment before procedeing to the finished product.

Have fun.
