Blue Parchment Style Business Cards - 25 Sheets / 250 Business Cards - 65lb Cover (176 GSM)

Revised review. After contact with Desktop Publishing Supplies I can say they have superb customer service. Within hours of contacting them with my issues they took action with a full refund. Given their record of reviews I may have been an outlier on the product side - I don't know. That said, their product may be better than my original review (which is edited and follows this). But customer service is a dying art and DPS provided exceptional response to a small purchase, which tells me they stand behind their products. So not sure about product, but appreciate their responsiveness. edited original review: Looks okay out of the package. But a page printed in my laser printer looked awful. See attached pic. The paper is not smooth/finished so the letters aren't clear. The micro perfs are so-so at best so at least one or two of the edges look and feel ragged. Color/appearance and feel of the stock is excellent, but can't print accurately on it - small fonts would be a real mess.

This is like medium stock paper. I like the color of the paper but my printer will only take then from a top feed without jamming. Some things I don't like, the fact that there is no really good template for these. The template you can download from the companies Website as an MS document. The boarder was a little off on the margins and I had to manually create a 1 mm margin in the vertical center to prevent one of the cards print from slightly impeding the card on the other side. I also don't like the fact that the edges fray when separated and they are a pain to smooth out. I ended up using a paper cutter to separate the rest which left a nice clean edge but I don't think I would buy these again. They are very flimsy, not like good quality business cards. The only thing I really liked about this paper is the color.

Thinner card stock than I'm used to. Gives card a flimsy feel. Also, the pre-perforations did not separate cleanly, even after much folding and bending, leaving fuzzy edges and an occasional "hanging chad". I'll use what I have left but I'm not too happy with it, considering the price. Print quality on my laser jet was okay.

For years, I've used the Parchtone Text stock imported from France. But this variation will do just as well, It makes a very nice background for the business card, if you print them yourself. No complaints at all. Do recommend.

I don't need business cards, I bought these to use as 'appointment reminder' cards. I have a calendar with all appointments, tasks, etc. but I find it helpful to have another visual not dependent upon computer, tablet, phone, etc. These work quite nicely for that.

I was expecting the business cards to be brown-grocery-bag brown or shipping-box brown. It's closer to a gold color. However, the color worked perfectly. It was a great value, too.

Bought for this purpose - so they look good. A little flimsy in my view for nice business cards.Do fold twice and score before tearing the perorated cards.

The parchment paper is nice, the texture and color. The edges are not good. I was hoping for a clean edge like you get with Avery but they did not come apart easily or clean. Will not buy again.
