So if you cut out a square meter of this paper and weigh it, it will weigh 600 grams. For the metrically challenged, myself included, that is 1 pound 5 ounces. This is heavy stock, supplied by Crane & Co, based and manufacturing in the USA.
There’s something about this black that just sends me. Yes, I’m all for color, but sometimes the lack of color is quite settling. So I knocked out just one of these to see what it would look like.

Printed on Crane Lettra 220# duplex stock. Four passes on the solid black, two passes on the text, two passes on the metallic green. Yikes.
Great client, this is his design. Nice.

We tried die cutting cards today. Makes me wonder what took me so long to try yet another task that the Windmill does well. I’ve mangled many a business card, trying to cut them on a regular paper cutter. So I emailed Bobbie at Key Dies and she graciously helped me through the process of figuring out exactly what I wanted. Once the order was finalized, the die was here almost instantly. That’s a great company.
I periodically do calling cards for my friend Hugo in Maine somewhere and this is the product of our first die cutting effort. Just look at those razor sharp and clean edges. It’s enough to give you goosebumps. Ok, so this is for a narrow audience, but I’m still pretty excited…
