I recently had my invitations designed and now I'm struggling to find a good way to print them. We went to a generic office supply store to have them printed and let's just say the product was less than desirable. Also, they didn't have linen paper which I would like for the invitations. We are going to try a local specialty print shop but right now their printer is being serviced. We will wait for them to be functioning again but with specialty linen paper I know it can be more expensive to have a professional shop do it.
So after all of that, here is my question: Have any of you printed on linen paper from a home printer? Our printer sucks and if I did this I was considering buying the HP 2050 All in one Inkjet. With buying that plus an extra ink cartridge and all of the paper (80# linen) from paper and more it will be about $140 bucks, which I'm starting to think will be cheaper then having a pro do it. What are your experiences with doing this? Did it come out OK on an inkjet? Was their bleeding or anything? Any tips? Also, how well did 80# go through your printer?
TIA!
