Question 1

Does this paper fold easily, I want to make envelopes?

Accepted Answer

I use regular #80/80lb Cover Stock for envelopes all the time and this is #110/110lb INDEX cover stock, which is lighter weight than regular cover stock. If you are not familiar with all of the different kinds of cover stock (cardstock) then try to get the "gsm" of each one you are comparing. That is the only true way to compare the weights. This Index cardstock is 199gsm, which is more like a #67/67lb cover stock. This cover stock would be very easy to make into envelopes, but would be a flimsy card base (unless you added 2-3 layers on top of it to make it more sturdy). The key is to always score them first. Scoring keeps your folds from cracking and they look more even and professional. Some #80 regular cover stock (especially if it is metallic, foiled or has coatings), will crack a little bit even with scoring. It depends if your folds go with the grain (the direction of the fibers in the paper) or against it. Folding against the grain will produce more cracking. Anything approximately 216 gsm (#80/80lb regular cover stock) or heavier, will most likely produce cracking, even if you score it. Hope that helps. :-)

Question 2

It works with watercolor?

Accepted Answer

It can, but you need to go lightly with the watercolor - Use something like watercolor pencils and barely wet it. I use Distress Inks on them - sometimes with a damp brush and  the 110lb does fine. It's amazing paper! I wish they still sold it by the case.

Question 3

If this is 110 it should weigh 33 lbs, but is listed at 7 which means it is really 24.   Is this really 110?.

Accepted Answer

I agree - this is no where near 110 lb paper. It's heavier than the 80 lb, but not good for card bases. Very disappointed.

Question 4

Does this product have a glossy feel/look to it?

Accepted Answer

No. It is definitely matte. I used it to print out achievement certificates.
