Photo quality inkjet paper that you can write on the back on (for greeting cards)

[Adam Del-Monte]

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a brand of A4 photo quality inkjet paper that can take
any kind of pen on its reverse. I'm currently using Ilford Smooth Pearl as
it doesn't have the makers name on the back of the paper like HP's own
paper. However, I'm after some paper that is easy to write on the inside of
the card (i.e. the back of the paper). The surface of the back of this paper
is fairly non-porous and the ink from many different types of pens does not
stick well to it (easily smudges even after some drying time, or does not
write clearly). I'm based in the UK.

Thanks!

- Adam.

JetTec Instant Dry Gloss will do you - I've used it for years - pack of 50
for £15 from www.kenborne.com - and it's fantastic. You can't go wrong at
30p a sheet!

I have used Epson glossy paper for greeting cards and printed both sides
with epson and canon inkjet printers. There are very light epson logos on
the backside which no one seems to notice. the back will take inkjet
printing and writing with a pen.
