Great idea to test before buying - like this brand a lot - I shall make the 220g double-sided matte finished paper my portfolio paper choice - it is simply excellent as are others in the Ice range - although I'm not to keen on the thinner paper choices preferring those papers over 200g in weight
I use Epson Photo RX620 and Stylus Photo 1400 printers and have had many problems with glossy card not printing properly and not drying. Ordered the Ice pack which arrived very quickly and, following a most helpful telephone discussion, ordered 500 sheets of 230gsm Pro Gloss/Matte, which is superb paper at an excellent price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend cvb!
Very good idea in providing this trial option. Delivery is excellent ! However, may I suggest that you dont place a sticker (one on each side of the double sided sample) on the sample paper. I attempted peeling off the lable only to damage the paper. Therefore, it rendered the sample sheet unsueable. I am really more interested in sourcing an A4 double sided SATIN white paper at arbout 230 gsm, many thanks Harry
No better way to test before you buy. Shall go back to CVB when a decision has been made about which quality paper I really need. Also, a VERY fast service!
i really was sceptical about ordering these paper but i'm glad i did, the quality was exceptional, i use a hp c3180 printer, and when set to the correct settings before printing it was worth every penny, wish i ordered more but i will.
