They just printed their marketing brochure with it and it looks great. I’d recommend giving them a call.

We will only attempt it on our UV cured press with inter-station drying, but then we have that option. That way we and the client know exactly what it will look like fully cured.

If budgetary restraints keep you from using the exotic soft-touch stocks, you might consider the option of using a soft-touch aqueous coating, but insist on two-hits of the coating for uniform finish. Not quite as fuzzy, but a good compromise.

However, when we printed on them with reflex blue, the color faded to a green on 50,000 cards within two days. We figured it was bad ink or a paper problem, but both manufacturers said no way.

Has anyone experienced this problem and could this be the reason that many printers won’t touch it?

More like it was actual velvet.

I can’t seem to find that paper anywhere and it sucks

I received a sample created by American Express that uses the stock, but it doesn’t look like the blue was printed on the piece….I’d appreciate any help/suggestions!

Thanks!
Lori

I am currently studying Lithography Printing and as part of my assignment I am to find out what people use this type of paper for, eg Business cards, Wedding Invitations. I was wondering if anybody could let me know what they use this fantastic paper for.

Many thanks
Chloe

People react to the card stock exactly the way you describe–by recoiling in wonder and amazement. I’ve been wanting to use that stuff ever since I first held it. I’m very happy with the result. Awesome stuff.

Does anyone know where I can order a new catalog/swatchbook from?

It’s the best stock for high quality presentation I have come across. Quite outstanding!!

We have printed on Curious touch as well as foil stamped and embossed. Does foiling extremely well. Even tiny fine lines in the foil. Does not hold engraving as well. Love the paper.

My understanding is that digital printing is fine, but if you want to use a press with ink, they won’t do it. Does anyone have a recommendation?
