We are looking to send out some local scenes for Christmas cards. The only selection we have in town is some Avery stock which isn't really high end.
To that end we would like to order something over the internet. A paper that is designed for both card stock and good photographic reproduction that we can use with an Epson 2200.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

I use Epson heavyweight matte photo paper for some of my prints and all of my cards. It's inexpensive, shows no emulsion, renders textures with subtlety and sharpness and is solid heavy stock. Colors take on a velvety look with this paper that I really like. I print my cards on the Epson R300, and they are sweet.
I've used Red River cards for making various greeting cards for my family in the past. Make sure you check on whether your printer needs a big change in the magenta. Now, though, I use either Epson 4x6 paper, or Adorama 5x7 paper, and attach it to a plain card.

Ditto! Just finished 10 cards going to a local M.D.
