Thanks Terry,

I have got great feedback about that paper.

The links all got mangled, but you can figure it out by deleting some extra characters.

I would highly appreciate suggestions regarding HP paper as Staples has a special 75% off on all HP paper ending this week using Coupon Code: 57442.

Also, this is going to be $1 next week : http://www.staples.com/HP-Everyday-Photo-Paper-8-1-2-x-11-Gloss-50-Pack/product_809757

By the way - which laminator do you use?

I am looking to buying one that can satisfactory work for .062 inch material too.
