Inexpensive double sided ink jet paper

[Don Bryant]

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive matt surface ink jet paper that can be printed on both sides to print PDF files?

I'm also interested in a quality paper that can be printed on both sides for book making.

TIA,

Don Bryant

try this company: http://www.charrette.com/ It seems to me I bought a cheap double sided cut sheet paper suitable for inkjet usage. If not them, i'll search my memory for the company that did have it. I do know there is a product out there that will do it

Thanks John.

I think I found what I need here:

Moab Kayenta Photo Matte is a very nice double sided relatively inexpensive inkjet paper. Available at their website, http://www.moabpaper.com/.

Hammermill ultra premium inkjet paper. I think it is around $6.50 per 500 sheets at Staples. I've used a lot (more than 3000 sheets) of this paper for PDF and other "basic" non photo printing. It's a heavy paper at around 24 pound, and nice and bright which makes reading the prints nice. I have yet to find a better "office" type matte paper for inkjet use.

So is there any cockling when color images are printed on both sides? If not it sounds like it maybe what I'm after for a cheap dual sided paper.

Thanks,

I looked at the Moab site today and it looks like there product offering has changed a little. I was planning on purchasing 13x38 cut sheets but I don't see them any more. I guess I can purchase a 50 ft roll for that.

I'll probably pick up some samples, come to think of it though I may already have some.

Thanks,

Not on the hammermill with what I consider "normal" ink amounts. I do not print onto it with Photo quality simply because it is not photo quality. The most I use is "fine" quality but usually the "normal" quality setting. If there are back to back images with a lot of ink, you might get a little out of shape, but it flattens right out when you pile a bunch of other pages on top.

It's a cheap paper, treat as cheap.

I'm also looking for an almost-photo-quality double-sided paper that doesn't cost the better part of a paycheck.

The closest I've found is the HP Brochure and Flyer Paper, but when doing dark solids it swells and buckles too much.

I would even settle for a true photo paper with one coated side and a plain back that would render a line-art calendar. I've tried a few photo papers, but the reverse side always seems to have the logo, or else it will not accept ink at all.

I would think there would be a demand for things like this.
