What do YOU use for printing on 3x5?

I guess the subject says it all. :) I wouldn't mind having a small printer that just printed 3x5 cards and photos, but I also could use a new full-size printer for home. Tell me what works for you...

I am printing my DIY GTD Hipster Cards on an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 2x2 (the '4up' template) on Hammermill Cover Stock. The heavier cardstock may have problems feeding and the Cover Stock is heavy enough, its like most 3x5 cards you find. I'd prefer heavier in feel but not utility, if that makes sense.

I've been looking closely at Epson printers because of their photo quality (they get high marks for archival quality). Do you know the pound weight of Hammermill stock you are using? I would also be printing on cardstock from time to time (I scrapbook, so cardstock is a tool of the trade) -- have you had problems with cardstock?

I bought the cover stock at Staples. I got the color variety pack to experiment. All the colors work well, though the Blue is a hair dark for my taste. The green, yellow, white (duh) and pink are perfect.

In my experience, pink is almost always perfect. ;)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
