FOR A PROFESSIONAL LOOK – USE A METALLIC WRAPPER- I recommend purchasing a foil paper that is durable. When you are working with specialty papers, from Epson, Avery, etc., they enclose printer instructions which tell you which paper settings to use. Make sure to choose the correct “PAPER TYPE” setting. These settings are generally found under the advanced settings option.
I always choose “BEST PHOTO”, even if I am not printing a photo (I find is best to treat the printable image as a photo). The majority of the time I use “BORDERLESS PRINTING” and make sure “SHRINK TO FIT” is NOT checked because I do not want the printer to shrink my image. This will vary based on the printer manufacturer. Make sure to adjust the printer settings on your printer. The most overlooked component of printing at home tends to come with the printer settings. These papers are commonly found in the scrapbooking sections of stores such as Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. I do not recommend this type of card stock as it is porous and can have a coating. The number one printing problem comes from customers who are trying to print onto CRAFT STORE card stock. I do not recommend printing on cover or heavyweight craft paper for candy bar wrappers. I personally use Epson 4 or 5 star photo paper because it seems to hold up the best with temperature change, the colors are bold and the label does not wrinkle when wrapped around the candy bar. Using a photo paper is especially important if your candy wrapper has a photo because photos will not appear sharp on non-photo paper. This is a non-glare matte photo paper, so if you are planning on photographing your candy bars, this one photographs beautifully. It prints beautifully, and it folds well over the candy bar.
ALWAYS PRINT ONTO WHITE PAPER: Here is the Epson Matte Premium Printer Paper I recommend. If not, you can download Adobe reader for free here: or open the jpeg into a software program of your choice.Ģ. Open the PDF into the PDF viewer (this comes on most computers).
