 |
|
Well,went into my local ASDA to get some more of this top notch paper,and they don't have it any more! 
It seems as they have changed over to a different stock of papers,so i bought some GP Bright White Inkjet Paper,and it is awful!The colours are completely washed out,what a waste of money.
Anyone know if their local ASDA still has it in stock?Or if anyone can recommend something that comes as close to it for quality and price?
Knew i should have bought 3 or 4 packs........

Well,i think i may have found a replacement for the paper from ASDA.
I just got a pack of this,from WH Smith.......PREMIUM COATED INKJET PAPER,it's their own brand...A4,120gsm weight,50 sheets for £4.99,a reet bargain i reckon!They also do a pack of 200 sheets for £16.99,so i'll buy a couple packs of that in the week.
Just printed a nice colourful Disney cover,and the colours are superb(R220,CIS,photo quality)reds are super vivid,definition is excellent,and came out dry to the touch.

Just thought i'd let everyone know i pop into the local Aldi the other day a picked up 200 sheets of paper that is EXACTLY the same as the stuff from Asda for only £2.99. It has special coated inkjet paper on the front of the box and the print quality is fantastic i think i might pop back today and buy another packet. All in all a total bargain.  |
