Arrrhhh...Paper Jam..!!

The paper used for flash card we got last sunday is too thick for our printer. Our printer LS355 Epson having problem feeding the paper into the printer. I only managed to print less than 20 pieces after making some adjustment to the paper like bending and folding slightly to allow the printer to feed.

paper stuck- see the marking on the paper. thats the jam mark.

The remaining flash cards will be printer on a A4 80gm paper then we will have to stick it on the 270gm paper. No choice have to do this way.

A4 flash card need to be thicker ( recommended 270gm and above ) so that it will be easy to Flash. 

Last time we use an exbel satin paper 250gm printed on A5 using our epson printer - no problem. So i would recommend you to use the 250gm for all A5's Flash cards 

In a NUTSHELL, 270gm is NOT recommended for printing. Im not sure if your printer can print. if you want to try you have take a sample from us and try with your printer. 

sample can contact us at sppurna@gmail.com (Mr. Purna) or my wife jia ming (lemonade_chin@hotmail.com)

send us your feedback ya..

Card Stock For Flash Card DIY

This weekend we went shopping for card stock apparently to make flash card for the 63 dots and the Mathematics learning cards (the one by Glen Doman). Since it was going to be in A4 size, we decided to get somewhat thicker so that flashing card would be easier.

we went to the usual place we went to get our card stock. The best to get it is in brickfields at Jalan sultan Abdul Samad. There is a whole street of stores selling printing cards, papers and binding.
we went to this specific ones we used to go, its called PAPER STATION SDN. BHD.

The good thing about this pace is that they have lots of sample to choose from to suit you printing needs. 

PAPER STATION SDN. BHD. AT BRICKFIELDS

here are some sample we got below:

they got the exotic which which is 280gm. This may be too thick for your printer to print so i skip this. im using Epson L355 inktank which is one of the best in term of ink cost and can print up to 270gm. 

I go for the  exbel satin which is 270gm. You got to buy 1 rim which is in the form form of 9 nos of A4. There are 100 pcs in a rim. You need to send this to the cutter to cut it into A4. the cutter shop is very close just 2 shops away.

 The shop is called Mathanna enterprise. The boss there is so friendly and i get to cut it in just less than RM5. Last time i also get them to cut for us 10rim of A4 into A5. 

They did a good job cutting a perfect cut and gave me a very tidy packaging

i would recommend to all mommy and daddy who are hard working and eager to get card stock to go to this shop and i bet you will be happy with the price and service.

good luck and good try..
