Horrible, Jam. Buy the 100pk instead
By AnderoonieVerified Reviewer from Sterling, IL on 9/17/2008
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Staples® Inkjet Postcards, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", Matte, 400/Pack:

Most of the reviews are right, this product jams constantly, in all of my machines. I'm not sure if the coating is different or what, but the 100pk version of this product does not jam at all compared to this sku.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Staples® Inkjet Postcards, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", Matte, 400/Pack:

I have purchased inkjet postcards from Staples in the past, but have purchased a name brand product. I thought I'd try the staples version because the price was more attractive. It was a disaster. The postcards snapped apart while running through the printer, causing a printer jam. Not one page could run through the machine without snapping. Trying alternate printers did not resolve the problem. These cards are simply not built to run through an inkjet printer. I couldn't return them, and I can't use them. It was a complete waste of money.

Very good, very bad
By FrustratedVerified Reviewer from Los Angeles, CA on 8/4/2008
Pros:
Available in 100pg packs, Good weight, MS Word template avail, Perforated
Cons:
JAMS PRINTERS
Best Uses:
Invites
Occupation::
Work From Home
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Staples® Inkjet Postcards, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", Matte, 400/Pack:

Overall: I use this product to create invites. Prints look great, the perforations are clean, good value but it will cause paper jams! Not worth the headache.

Pro: Prints look great on all printers I own (See below) even with the "Plain paper" settings.

Cons: I have over one year experience with this product. This stock caused paper jams in all four printers I own (HP L7590, HP J6480, Canon Pixma ip3000, Canon MX700). Except for the Canon ip3000, all the other printers are brand new. This paper has caused me nothing but grief. I would only recommend it for very small jobs and patient people.

Perfs are too brittle and product may separate when printing. Does not feed well, consistent jams.
