Printing and Mounting

Hello! If you have not purchased paper already, here are a few links for a few recommended types of presentation paper. For starters, I would recommend getting MATTE paper rather than something with a gloss. Matte has a tendency to have better compatability with most high-end inkjet printers. Sometimes you have to toggle around the print settings for gloss, which could cost a bit of time.




 INKPRESS DUO MATTE 80 PAPER

EPSON ULTRA PREMIUM PRESENTATION PAPER MATTE

RED RIVER MATTE PAPERS (32LB WEIGHT OR HEAVIER IS OK)

EPSON PREMIUM LUSTER PHOTO PAPER 





Also,these items will be needed for mounting:


-  Lite Duty X-Acto Knife (For Cutting Paper)

-  Heavy Duty X-Acto Knife or Boxcutter (For Cutting Mats)

-  Matboard (size is up to you since you will be cutting it down to 12 x 18, just make sure that it is not too thick. I would say no more than 1/4 inch thickness)

Spray Adhesive (Click for Link to see an example) 

-  Ruler - preferrably with a cork or non-slip back

-  Cutting Mat (The CMC has these available, so no need to buy one if just want to use one of their mats) 

- Pencil
