Unlike inkjet ink, laser ink does not soak into the paper, so it is dry right away and allows for printing on some surfaces that inkjet cannot print on such as metallic, pearlescent, and reflective paper. Inkjet vs. Laser- When viewed at an angle, you can see how the inkjet ink soaks into the paper, while the laser ink leaves a very thin plastic-like coating on top. Letterpress is the oldest form of printing and is the height of luxury when it comes to paper goods.
Note that letterpress printing works best on papers or higher. Thermography - In thermographic printing, powder ink and heat come together to create a raised, embossed finish. Thermography is commonly used on luxury paper items and works with almost all paper types.
Matte papers are uncoated and offer a high-quality performance for laser and ink jet digital printers as well as copiers, provided the proper test runs have been made for paper thickness. Pearlescent papers are laser printer compatible. Although possible, inkjet printing is not recommended as print may smudge if the paper is too thick for the printer or is not allowed to dry before handling.
Mirror Foils are not suitable for inkjet printing but are compatible with many other printing application procedures including, but not limited to: laser, thermography, lithography, digital, silkscreen printing, offset printing, embossing, foil stamping, engraving, die or laser cutting, and folding and or scoring. If you want your first introductions to be memorable, pearlescent could be the right choice for your business cards.
You can also consider using other specialist finishes, such as rounded corners. These details help to add interest and appeal to your design.

Hi, I'm making wedding stationery for my friend and planning to use Centura Pearlescent 1- and 2-sided card. The paper weight is gsm for the 1-sided and gsm for the 2-sided; the copier spec says it will take up to gsm from the bypass tray.
Also considering the Supreme Pearlescent card which would allow for a 2-sided finish but in a lighter weight, gsm. Has anyone had any experience of printing onto these cards? Did you get a crisp image on the pearlescent surface? Any problems with paper jams? Would really value the benefit of your experience, before I got out and buy sheets of expensive card I can't use!
Tags: None. I found my printer would not take it,it is to thick. My printer is a HP photosmart. Hope this helps,your printer may take it.
