    Howdie Folks,

    I'm currently coming to the end of a development phase for a line of Christmas cards, It's only now I realise, I can only print on the outside (glossy) of the card. The back of the paper, is surprisingly regular, 240gsm, a little coarse but bright white but any attempts at printing on it end up in some of the ink settling on top of the paper and smudging ... I've tried setting the printer to different media types with no luck ...

    Canon iP3000 & Rex Office Glossy Paper.

    Any ideas ?

    some printers also have xerox printing machines, there used for small runs, it might be cheaper to get them printed on a xerox machine and let them worry about all that. although i'd get a proof or two first as quality can vary slightly.
    i got stuff printed from prontaprint in cork before, very quick and good quality.
    pretty cheap too!
