Avery Note Cards for Inkjet Printers 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Matte White 60/Pack w/Envelopes 8315

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The notecards are very nice, I haven't printed on them yet but am very satisfied with the package!

I purchased Avery 8315 Noter Card and used them for Christmas Cards as I have done for the past 20 years. This is a great product and I highly recommend it. The price is good and delivery was fast

These used to be great. I don't know WHY Avery would change them in a way certain to make them worse and lower quality prints. I was so excited to send my custom design holiday cards to all my friends and family, so I got another package of these cards (I'd first purchased a few years ago and had a few still let). The ones that I printed on the cards that I bought a few years ago came out beautifully, as they always have, but the ones on the new cards had much worse color/brightness. I looked closely at the cards and figured out that it is because the ones that I bought a few years ago had a wonderful smooth texture - perfect for high quality printing - while the ones I bought recently have a much more porous texture - not even GOOD for printing anything with any brightness to it. Definitively going to be purchasing from a different company for any other cards I'll be printing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These notecards work well with my images. They are easy to seperate with the scored lines. I wonder if there is a way to get more of a coating on the surface though. My images dont come out as vibrant as I would like.

I have been using these note cards for years. The last box I bought the photos were washed out and fuzzy. Will not buy again.

I used these to print my artwork for several years, I recently restocked and opened the new box and the quality is terrible! Everyone else is correct. They look awful now, not sharp and the colors are dull. I have a professional printer and all settings are the same, but all prints look terrible now! Please bring back the better quality cardstock!

I design my own greeting cards, so this product is ideal. The quality of the product is superb, and it rarely jams the printer. The perforations are precise enough not to cause tearing, when separating the cards.

I had this same type of paper and loved it for notecards. Friends and family loved my art prints and encouraged me to start selling them. Folks, I bought FOUR packs thinking it'd be the same exceptional quality, and didn't think to read the reviews because it was the same brand and type. I'm an absolute fool. This is garbage tier. You can see the print from the other side of the paper it's so thin. The quality of print is like printer paper. DO NOT BUY THIS. Hopefully I can get it refunded so only my time is wasted instead of my money. Incredibly disappointing. :' (

Always appreciated the high quality of Avery products - ...again my projects were amazing thanks to Avery

I used 8315 paper for at least 10 years and love it. New box just arrived and it is useless. I I used this paper for at least 10 years and loved it. A new box just arrived and the print quality is terrible, the pictures are dull and lacking in color and contrast . I spent 3 days trouble shooting, talking to Apple, Avery and Epson. I did at least 20 tests and realized it had to be the paper. I researched “trouble printing on Avery 8315” only to find a slew of folks with the same problem.

I use these to make personal greeting cards on my inkjet printer

My wife is a professional artist, and I print her custom notecards using the Avery Matte White notecards and a high-end inkjet printer. Up to a year ago, the Avery notecards manufactured in Germany were of superb quality. When Avery switched to a Mexican source, that quality was lost. Colors are muted, the image sharpness is gone, and even the micro-perforations are not as clean as the old ones. I hope you have plans to restore the quality, or I will have to find another source for her card stock.

My experience matches the other complaints I have read here. The old paper (made in Germany) was excellent, and we used to to make all of our cards with great results. The new paper (made in Mexico) is horrible! The images are flat, dull, and lifeless, and there are white dots where the ink isn't properly absorbed by the paper. I want the old paper back!

Love these , makes everything I make look great! Also great price.

Your note cards are excellent. Nice quality. Their fold is nice and crisp. Far superior to store brands I've tried.

These cards are perfect for card making because you can print the sentiment inside using the Avery website for designing etc.!

I have been using these note cards for about 8 years for my photo cards that I sell. I was so impressed with the deep rich hues and saturation. I so wish I had read these reviews back in November. You will never guess what has happened!! At the end of November I was getting ready to print batches of Christmas cards as I give away my card packs for Christmas Gifts. Suddenly my HP printer crashed and I was fortunate that it was still under warranty, so they send me a new one. However, they did not have my original model. So I received the upgraded printer and I set it up and the print quality was so poor. So I figured it was the new printer. I called HP and after an hour of trouble shooting, they sent me a new one. That did not work either, so again I figured that HP quality went down, so after another hour, they sent me another one. That didn’t work either. So they gave me a monetary refund to purchase my own. I went to a different model that used the same ink as my original model thinking that was the problem. But it wasn’t. The print quality was still bad. So I went to Amazon and found my original model. Low and behold, that did NOT fix the problem. I don’t know why I did not notice this before, but when I compared the new print to my previous cards (I keep an inventory) I suddenly realized that the surface texture was different. The new cards have a slightly smoother surface and the old cards which are advertised as matte finish are just that. I liken it to different qualities of paint. The old cards are a “Flat” finish. And the new cards are “Eggshell”. Everyone knows that Flat finish absorbs more dirt and scuffs, and Eggshell is smoother, so easier to clean. So what is happening with the old set of cards is that it is absorbing more of the ink and causing the deeper, richer tones. The New card is not absorbing the ink so the colors are faded and muted. Please tell me that you are going to go back to the old paper quality. I cannot buy these cards any more until you do. In the meantime I have 5 boxes of Note cards and the same thing has happened with the Avery post cards which I have 5 boxes of and I need to send back to Amazon. I will be searching for another type of card that will work for me. I have included a sample of what I am talking about. The picture on the left is the old card quality. The picture on the Right is the new card quality. So you can see for yourself which one is better. I cannot tell you how much time, money and paper was wasted in the last 3 months trying to figure this out. Where is your quality control???!!!

I am so disappointed that you have changed the sourcing of you paper. It has always provided a top quality image in the past but not any more. Will no longer purchase them.

I have been purchasing Avery Matte Note Cards for years and have loved the quality! My note cards receive high praise and are frame worthy. But the newest box I purchased is "Made in Mexico" and the quality is absolutely awful! They cards print saturated and bland and waste a lot of ink. I have printed better on standard copy paper. The Matte Note Cards I've purchased in the past were a "Product of Germany" and were lovely and worthy of my product line. I will not be selling products made with this sub-par card stock.

I've been buying this product for years! However, the coating on the cardstock is quite different. It lost that nice feel on the outside. If you read the reviews from years ago, they are great! However, recently the paper quality is different. I use to buy the ivory embossed paper and had to stop because it even changed. The paper was thinner. Please go back to the original lb's and textures.
