Can you print on Mulberry or Handmade paper?

July, 28th 2009

Neither Mulberry nor Handmade paper is designed to be used in home printers. They are made of unsealed fibres which allow the ink to bleed slightly and the varying textures may cause erratic printing finishes. However it is possible to print onto them with home inkjets, the key is to try it in your machine and see. Both types of papers will go through my inkjet printer, an Epson C66, and print readable text with a reasonably consistent finish. Make sure you use a bold font for the best results as details will not show up as well as with machine finished papers, and order a few extra for trial and error.
