    Default What paper?

    I usually buy all my decoupage sheets but I've been googling on the net and have found loads upon loads of freebies so I'm going to have a go at printing my own, However I don't have a clue what is the best paper to use for the printing!
    Does anyone have any advice? Decoupage sheets usually have a sheen to them so was wondering what is the best to use?

    My ex-wife doe a lot of decoupage and she used to use two or three different sorts of paper depending on the finish or sort of card she was using. i dont think it really matters as long as the end result is what you expect. definitely a case of try and try again
    If its profound what was the name of the golfer and what did he find?

    Cheers

    Default what paper

    Hi there porshipoo, use photo paper glossy for shiny deco sheets, just remember to leave them for a few minutes to dry before using them.
    hope this helps!

    Thanks for that NikNak.
    I've just bought some silk finish paper for decoupage off EBay but I'm going to give the photo paper a go while i wait for the delivery.
    Thanks for that.
