Half a letter-sized sheet, double the charm. This is the Goldilocks of sizes—not too big, not too small. Whether it’s for postcards, menus, or “take one” flyers, these will be just right.
Need to convey something important but don’t want to yell about it? This size strikes the perfect balance. Subtle and approachable, but big enough that you’ll still need to fold it to get it into your pocket.

Let’s talk about paper
Standard
100# cover, uncoated or satin-coated. It’s the go-to for solid, high-quality, bright white paper that’s ready to get the job done and look great doing it.
Smooth, bright white, basic, but classic. This is the best choice for most pieces, IMHO.
100# Uncoated
A nice satin/silk finish really makes things pop. It’s not quite gloss, but it’s certainly got a sheen to it.
100# Silk Coated
Premium
Thicker, smoother, and just a little bit extra. Coated-one-side or super thick—it’s just a little step up from our standard stuff.
Same silk finish, but a little heavier.
120# Silk Coated
Super-smooth, bright white, heavy.
130# Uncoated
Postcard paper, only coated on 1 side, so the other side can be written on easier.
16pt Coated-ONE-Side
Thick stuff, coated on both sides.
16pt Coated-TWO-Sides
Recycled
French Paper Co. - Made in Michigan. We offer 3 flavors, each with recycled specks and flecks, making every sheet unique. It’s the best paper on the planet, IMHO.
White, but a little ‘dirty’ - from the Speckletone line. This is a nice option for making things fancy!
Starch White from French
This is my off-white flavor… cream, natural, or whatever else you want to call it - not quite white.
Madero Beach from French
The wildest offering I’ve consistently got on my shelves. It’s yellow, but don’t be scared.
Manila Yellow from French
Guidelines to ensure the perfect print:
Font sizes.
Use font sizes of 8pt or larger to ensure clear readability. I wear big glasses - I can see EVERYTHING. A 6pt font makes me squint.
Also, there has been a trend of new ‘THIN’ fonts. These look great on a screen, but printed, sometimes there isn’t enough meat on the font to print correctly.
Spacing.
Let your artwork breathe a little - give it at least 0.25” of margin around the edge of the sheet, at least for the important text and images that you don’t want cut off.
Bleeds and Marks.
Depending on the software you’re using, you may have the option to export with bleeds and or marks. If it’s an option, please hook me up! If you don’t know about this, ask. Maybe I can get you pointed in the right direction.
Matte prints.
One of the trade-offs of digital printing is the use of dry toner instead of a liquid ink (like an ink jet). When this toner dries (fuses), it has a little bit of a sheen to it. It’s not glossy, but it’s not matte. Even if I print on an uncoated stock, if the artwork is full-coverage ink, there will be a sheen. The only way around that would be to print with a different method: offset, screenprint, or just a plain old ink jet. But I don’t offer any of that here.
Color.
I calibrate my machine weekly - it’s dialed in and carefully honed to work with each paper type. That said, what you see on the screen is not always exactly what you’ll see in print. I could bore you to death explaining color modes, the difference between CMYK and RGB, and screen-vs-print - but I won’t. But, I could.
Borders.
Borders can be tough, especially is your art is double-sided. If you’re able, do a chunky border - try to keep that thing at least 0.25” from the edge.
Customer Questions
-
The price for 25 prints (or any quantity) is for one design only.
-
To avoid white borders, make sure your design extends 1/8" beyond the edge on all sides. The artwork should be the same size as your order, at 300 DPI, and in CMYK format. This helps us ensure the best print quality.
-
We don't offer test prints, but if you're local, you can check out our paper samples in person! For color accuracy, keep in mind that digital printing can cause slight color variations. If you need an exact Pantone match, offset or screen printing might be a better option.
-
We don't offer refunds on custom prints. Please keep in mind that colors may look different in print than on your screen, and print materials may vary. We do our best to ensure quality, but slight differences in color or appearance can happen. If something is truly wrong with your order, feel free to reach out and we’ll do our best to make it right.
