It's ok! I am sure they look great! People do not inspect our invitations as closely as we do :)

What happens is any linen or laid stock the ink does not lay on the stock correctly. It will crack possibly. I would print out a few wait a day and bend it so if it cracks. If its really bad.. i mean really faded or cracked take it to a print shop and get a estimate to be run on a press. It may cost you around $40-50!

i think that's exactly what the problem is....we just bought smooth finish cardstock...if it looks more sharper, we'll just go with that....i'm sure our guests won't mind if the paper isnt textured!

They wouldn't even miss it!!! lol
Purchase a sheet or two of cardstock at ACMoore. Print on that & see how you like it. Let us know how it goes.
