Hi! Thanks so much for watching. You can absolutely laminate the backside as well for added protection. I didn't because this example is just a one sided bookmark, but if I was printing double sided, than I would also laminate the back too. (:

@@teachersandy1120 Thank you so much for the info!!!! This is really helpful.

Hi! Thanks so much for watching. The 110 cardstock from the video is linked in the description and it is 200 gsm. However if you want a thicker paper, I love Red River Paper Aurora White 300, that’s a 300 gram paper and prints lovely in the Epson ET 8500. **edited because I replied with my personal account

Hi, thanks for watching. For printing at home using Photoshop I always use RGB mode and I play with the levels or color balance if I need to adjust anything or if I notice it's not close enough when I print. I noticed that paper type makes the biggest difference in how accurate or clear the colors end up printing. The three paper brands that I find print the most accurate for me is Koala Papers, Epson Papers, and Red River Paper, however each of them have a slightly different white to them so that also changes the colors slightly. It just depends what you need to print because the paper types/weights vary too. Let me know if you still have questions and I'll be happy to try and help. (:

@@SandraEide Thanks for the helpful feedback!

Sometimes I do fill it a second time. Often I will over fill the first time and it will level itself. (:

Hi! That's an amazing deal! For epson matte paper, I used matte photo settings on my printer. So check to see if your paper is matte or glossy and try and find the closest setting. (:

I use the back feed for any thick paper or cardstock. Flip open the back panel and feed the paper through, something I need to manually push it during print for the back feed to grab onto the paper.

@@SandraEide thank you so much for your answer! i didn't know it can do different formats with the back feed! I will definetely try it

@@annamollers5853 Hi did it work with your printer? I`m thinking about buying the epson et 8500 but I need it for thick paper up tp 300 g.

@@SandraEide can you print borderless that way?

I would say these are more of a warm bright white, not yellow but not a cool white, however leaning more towards Ivory/yellow warmth than the slightly bluer whites.

Thanks so much for watching, as far as these specific Epson papers they are fine so far to write on. They are matte, not gloss so no smudging issues

@@SandraEide I just bought this printer 🥰 and with the right paper the writing works well. I use HP color choice paper. Thanks again 👍🏻, your review helped with my decision for the printer. The only issue is the smell from the ink, but I guess that's the case with every inkjet printer. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for watching! I am glad it was helpful

I'm so glad you liked this video! I will be doing a video soon with my favorite art print papers. I absolutely adore Red River Paper, especially Aurora White - www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/aurorawhite.html?a_aid=66634fa8397fe

Thank you! Love the tip, will try it next time I clean up artwork

Yay, I'm glad the review was helpful. I thought the premium paper was a great choice. I hope you like it for your kindle inserts. (:

On the Epson scanning settings on your computer you can change the mode to photo mode which will give you all of the DPI settings. In photo mode you can scan up to 9600 dpi using the V600 and in document mode you can scan up to 1200 dpi. This video is a bit older and I hadn't played with all of the settings yet but have found out the higher dpi capabilities later on. However for my prints I still usually only use 600 dpi at most and find that to be a great setting for me. Hope that helps. (:

It's a silver brush black velvet round brush, and I don't know the exact size in the video but I recommend a size 6. Size 4 or 6 is what I use for almost all things I paint. (:

It depends on what you're painting but I usually paint on an 8.5x11 inch sheet of watercolor paper and scan in it at 300 dpi or 600 dpi if you want to size them larger.

@@SandraEide Multiple pieces on one sheet? Or one piece on each sheet? I usually paint more pieces on one sheet if they're simple, like loose florals, etc.

@@yvonned3557 yes me too. I often paint multiple smaller sized florals on one page, each flower being 1-2 inches. I'm all for saving money on paper because watercolor paper can be a bit more expensive so use every inch of space you can.
