Hi Girls...I purchased samples from cardsandpockets.com and I've tried to print on the metallic cardstock but the ink doesn't dry properly and the letters keep smearing. Is there a special setting that I need to print it on?

i think it depends on your printer. some inkjets will smudge. I have a canon pixma printer which is an inkjet & it doesnt smudge, laser printers probably wont smudge at all. Try adjusting the settings if it allows to glossy card stock....my laser printer has this setting.

You have to use a laser printer. I printed on Stardream paper (which is metallic) for my menus, placecards and programs and used laser, dries right away and no smearing.

Thanks! I think I already tried the glossy photopaper setting and it still didn't work. Do you know if staples would be able to print them?

u can def use staples, but they are pretty expensive for color copies...if u havent cut your paper you would come out ahead if you let them print then cut them for you.
