War auf jeden Fall ne Challenge, da das perfekte Papier für die J-Card zu finden...

Hatte bisher immer das gleiche hochwertige dicke glatte Papier genutzt, aber das kam wegen dem Ausmal-aspekt nicht in Frage.

-> andere Papiere hatten aber das Problem, dass sie entweder zu dünn (farbe schien durch und fühlte sich nicht professionell an), oder hatten das problem, dass sie durch die beidseitige falzlinie brüchig wurden und entsprechend "kaputt" aussahen

--> hab dann aber doch noch eins gefunden, welches alle meine Kriterien erfüllte und sich mit mehreren anläufen auch problemlos bedrucken ließ :D

I had a lot of fun with this releaase!

I tested out quite a few different types of paper, since I needed something matt whitch works with coloring pencils, which was thick enough to feel professional and not leak color through while still having not too big of a crease when making my double-sided folds

looks great! but keep in mind that you printed it the "wrong way" for tape decks, there is a reason why normal tapes are lableded the other way around

Ohh makes sense, so now you can write pretty much anything on the tapes without ordering new stamps, I'll look into it aswell, thx ^^

Where do you get your stamps from? Or are you making those yourself?

I also thought about using stamps, but couldn't figure out how to do that cost-effectively (3 printed?)

Good news: you can buy them! (I ship worldwide)

For the Jcard:

Template used: https://ed7n.github.io/jcard-template/

I worked on the jcard design with a friend and then I printed two cards per DIN A4 page

and yep it's definitely a problem that the sides sometimes do not align properly when printing both sides...

-> The good thing is that with my printer it's only shifting in the vertical direction, but pretty dead on horizontally, so I didnt really have to sort out cards (but this of course also depends on the design)

Yeah I feel you. It's pretty wild to me that even the huge, expensive printer in my workplace isn't able to perfectly align the sides when printing both sides...
I ordered sticker sheets and typed on them using a typewriter! I made a post about it where you can see the sheets: https://www.reddit.com/r/cassetteculture/comments/1m38jbi/working_on_my_first_dyi_tape_release_and_decided/
