Blurb paper help

[adisneygal]

I just got our guestbook from blurb. I used the regular paper. It seems a little thin and I was worried about the ink bleeding through to the other side. Any issues with this?

I was gonna get the premium paper but wanted a matte finish. It said the premium was a silk finish so I am assuming that it would be a little shiny? Any one have any experience with the premium paper as well?

THANKS!!!

i think you'll be fine with the regular paper. i personally don't like it as much as i do the premium paper, but if you choose the right pens, you'll be ok!

I used American Crafts' SlickWriter pens (available on scrapbooking websites) on my Blurb book and they didn't bleed through. They're also archival so they won't fade or wreck the paper.

Is the premium paper glossy?

Did you use the regular paper?

Thanks, ladies!

I have printed with both and I prefer the premium paper. I didn't notice a different in glossy-ness, but I like that the thicker feel of it.

They didn't have premium paper back in the dark ages when I ordered my last Blurb book, so I used regular. I'm sure I'd love premium, but regular seemed fine to me (I was worried it was going to be like magazine pages, but it was more like a regular coffee table book).

Thanks ladies for the input!

I too ordered mine before the invention of 'premium' paper and love mine just fine I used an acid-free guestbook pen with no problems!
