I am trying to print on Stardream Dual and having a heck of a time with it. At first I thought it was because I was using rubber based ink, and thought the trouble was due to the fact that the paper…Continue

That looks like beautiful paper, I just sent you and email for a sample of it.

Bunny Bear Press replied to Wendy Emery's discussion Paper stocks other than lettra"Hi Josh,
It looks like it just comes in 166# and 314#. Would the 166# be light weight enough to fold for a folded A2 card? Seems like it might be better suited to an invitation. I'll send you a PM for a sample though. I would love to see…"

Bunny Bear Press replied to Wendy Emery's discussion Paper stocks other than lettra"Hello,
I am thinking about doing a large run of thank you notes and am looking for something more cost effective than the Lettra, and something that folds a bit better. I am just wondering if you ever came up with a solution for this?
Thanks!
Adina"
Bunny Bear Press replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Printing on Stardream HELP"I wonder why I wasnt sent an email with these replies! Thank you everyone. The weird thing is, I think it is my rollers on my C&P. I even took a ton of ink off the press and was still getting the splotchy coverage. I tried it on my 3x5…"
Camille Robin replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Printing on Stardream HELP"The color of the paper is shining through. Is there transparent white ink in the formula? You should probably use Van Son Tough Tex, it can be purchased at http://www.bsink.com/

Annika Buxman replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Printing on Stardream HELP"Adina, This is the same problem I always have with Stardream on the C&P. Vandercook works better for me when lightly inked. For the last few years I've been avoiding Stardream altogether and using Curious Metallic instead because it takes…"
Kseniya: Thomas-Printers replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Printing on Stardream HELP"It looks like too much ink is the problem; I use very little (we use rubber base also), with very soft packing so the plate really sinks in. The back of the sheet bruises because of the soft packing, but this is the best way I've found to avoid…"
Bunny Bear Press posted a discussionPrinting on Stardream HELP
I am trying to print on Stardream Dual and having a heck of a time with it. At first I thought it was because I was using rubber based ink, and thought the trouble was due to the fact that the paper must be coated and therefore the ink was unable to absorb. But now I am having the same result with oil based ink. The ink looks as though its floating on the surface and I am not getting even coverage. Also the ink appears much lighter in color than it does when printed on just cotton paper.Any…See More
Bunny Bear Press replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Folding Paper"Thanks! I ended up using Savoy and it worked great!"
chris replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Folding Paper"I have no problem scoring lettra, though I always score with the grain. I use 2 pt rule and chipboard as the matrix."
Andrea Jenson replied to Bunny Bear Press's discussion Folding Paper"We use Reich Savoy for everything and it folds great! Never have a problem cracking. We use the #118, so don't know if a heavier stock would give you trouble. We also use a hand scoring machine and I don't know maybe that helps us. Good…"

I know there is an extensive forum discussion about folding Lettra, but I was wondering if anyone has had success folding another cotton paper, like Reich Savoy for example?I have a client who wants to score their business card on both sides so that it will fold in a zig sag like shape to stand up on a desk. Any paper recommendations?Thanks!AdinaSee More
