What paper do you use for printing? I was using photo paper and sometimes when I put it in a book it gets marks on looking like it is wet.
What paper do you use?

It depends on the page layout, I use a lot of matt photo paper, but sometimes the layout will look better in gloss or semi gloss. If I use gloss I usually leave them a day before putting them in a protector (this helps to prevent sticking)

I use both but like gloss but you do have to let it dry a day or 2 before putting tn the protectors. or it will stick it needs a longer dry time than mat.
I like mat for 12x12 just looks nice oh and i have not found it in gloss ha haMint

Dry Time
Originally posted by nanwu View PostIf I use gloss I usually leave them a day before putting them in a protector (this helps to prevent sticking)
I let the page dry for about 1/2 hour then I place a sheet of plain printer paper on it. I usually print several at a sitting so after the initial dry time, I stack them photo, plain paper, photo and so on.
I then leave the stack for a good 36 hours before placing in protectors. I have had no trouble with sticking since doing it this way.
Hope this helps.Kelly ~Mom's Corner

Very Good idea MomsCorner!! I will have to give that a try someday. I would like to use glossy sometimes, heck, its cheaper too. But I will wait till it goes on sale.
Angel... what kind do you use... the brazil paper?? I will have to try that too, never even thought about that.

buy your photo paper at Sams club. I have used it for several years now and don't have trouble when I wait a day or two before putting it in the sheet protectors. I use a regular 3 ring binder, and I use the sheet protectors. have for years. but it sure works great with SBM.

girls, one thing to seriously consider when you are printing at home is how the prints will stand up over time. To me, it's a total waste of ink and paper to print at home only to have the prints fade in a few years (and in the case of some printers and inks, a few MONTHS). I have a long article on this topic at my site - scrapquick.com
