Need quality adhesive backed printable paper
« on: April 25, 2021, 08:15:49 pm »

I am making a present for my grandson: I have a presentation book with 20 clear polypropyline inserts that will contain letter sized photos printed on Epson Luster that I am printing with my Epson P 900. The cover is thin black plastic and I would like to attach a photo with some print that will serve as my cover for the collection. Rather than try to glue on a photo I would prefer to print onto adhesive backed paper then attach that. The only thing I can find is very cheap, 100 sheets for unter $20, so I am quessing it is not very good quality. Can anybody recommend a quality adhesive backed printable paper? 8 x10 or 8.5 x 11?

Or, if you can recommend an easy way to cleanly attach a photo onto the cover. I don't have and am not interested in buying a dry mount press. Thanks!!

In my experience, any kind of glueing w,ithout wrapping around the corners does not work very well on flexible substrates (and in my understanding the black plastic cover is flexible, no? )

Sooner or later the corners get loose/dirty/peel off...

I would cut a window into the black plastic cover and put an interesting/surprising motif onto the first inner page, of which the window only shows a detail.

Looks neat and clean + surprise effect.

Thanks, good suggestion. And yes, very flexible cover.
