    Which would be a thicker, more impressive cover:

    "100 lb. cover, gloss "
    or
    "12 pt. gloss stock"

    Close -
    100 lb cover weight = ~11 pt. thickness

    The 12 pt will probably be thicker. Stiffness also comes into play.

    PAPER...
    OH....
    Check out Mohawk Paper... speak to Rich Sheilke...regional sales something or other...
    Tell him Trishalicious sent you...
    I bet he can hook you up with a better price than what you are getting.

    And he's sooooo cute.....

    You know... tell him that I said he should give you a better price...

    How many thousand sheets do you need to use before you can get good prices directly from Mohawk vs. having to go through one of their resellers?

    Would glossy paper be the same as poster paper?
