The Last Sherry Glass In the Cupboard - With Permajet Paper

Okay, you know what I'm talking about.


You get engaged, or turn 21, or get married. And you have this party, and people bring lame presents. Some of the presents are fondue sets and some of them are little wire carriers with 6 sherry glasses in them. You watch over the years as the sherry glasses gradually diminish - they crack or break - until you are down to that last one glass.

It will never break. It could be used to peen over the end of an armour-piercing shell...it's that tough. And your cupboard is full of the same thing from other sets of cups and glasses. You can set a table in the presence of your enemies with the calm assurance that they can't break anything...

It is the same with inkjet printing paper. You buy all sorts of different sizes and surfaces from all sorts of manufacturers and print up nearly all the packet...then you have the last few sheets. You NEVER use them again, because you NEVER have enough to do the next job. And the packets mount up...

Time to change. Go into your computer room and grab all those ratty ends of paper  packets and throw them out. Or print lost dog notices for imaginary dogs and post them up at the local IGA...always a favourite. Or make unwieldy paper airplanes. Whatever, get rid of them and get a set of the new Permajet papers.

I am currently working my way through the #1 sample pack and they are proving to be beautiful surfaces. So far the smooth pearl type is perfect with the profile I downloaded. When I can be bothered to change to matte ink I will run the fine-art types. This would be a good project for any printer during the coming holiday break...so come in an take home some packs of paper this week. And check the ink supplies as well - we'll be shut between Christmas and new years so get your shelves filled now.
