Astrobrights White Cardstock

Hi fellow card makers! I'm currently using a heavyweight cardstock from Michaels for card bases and general white cardstock use. It's super thick at 110lb/300gsm but it sucks at soaking up ink so whenever I use stencils or make blended ink backgrounds, I have to use SO MUCH elbow grease to get color to show up. I do also have a ream of Neenah cardstock that is 110lb but only 199gsm so I find it to be too flimsy for card bases, but holds ink much better. I'm hoping to find a heavyweight cardstock that will be good for both card bases and ink blending. I was looking at a Hammermill cardstock on Amazon that's 100lb/271gsm and reviews are good but don't mention ink blending much. What do you all use for white cardstock that is nice and thick but also holds ink well? submitted by /u/sadira86 to r/cardmaking [link] [comments]

So I mentioned this in a previous post, and someone in the comments made a remark about posting about it without links or instructions, so I'm doing it again. I was making papercrafted boxes out of 110 weight cardstock (specifically the "Astrobright White" cardstock) and figured after lots of trial and error I'd posts a guide for other people who want to do something similar. Final products in first picture for subreddit rules compliance. I got the templates I used from a free website templatemaker.nl for this project I used their "matchbox" but I have also used their "card box" "gift box" and "multi-sheet box" templates in the past. The matchbox is the one with the largest margin of error. You put in the dimensions of box you want, and it will generate a template which can be printed, or exported as a file for a die-cutter, plotter, or 3D-printer. In this case the dimension I went with were the sizes of the holes in the component storage tray, measured with a set of vernier calipers that I managed to find at the Dollar Tree, the 2mm clearance was chosen to allow for the laminate and paint to add to the cardstock's thickness. Printing out the template for the tray and box, I then taped down a sheet of Duck Laminate Liner. Then, using a #2 blade hobby knife, I trimmed the box flat out overtop of the laminate sheet, extending the flaps for the sides to the edge of the sheet so that they can be folded completely over the box once assembled. I made a mistake in the first couple of boxes, but had remedies this by the end, the thick black line on the edge is the cut-line, and the entirety of the line is assumed to be cut off, this allows the edges to fold more easily. At this point you can either crease the fold lines in preparation and then paint the paper, or you can paint and then fold, there are advantages and disadvantages to both, folding first allows it to be assembled more easily, but can make it a bit unstable and messy to paint, whereas painting first gives a cleaner appearance, but it can make the folds a bit harder to do. I was using cheap acrylics and paintbrushes from the Dollar Tree, so the brush left very apparent lines, but I decided that they looked close enough to wood-grain that it was fine. Although later I realized that the higher-quality craft acrylics from WalMart and the Craft Store actually would have been cheaper than the Dollar Tree paints, but this is about the crafting and not my hubris aside from being a cautionary tale. I tried to mostly paint only the parts that were visible, then I simply used a glue-stick to adhere the flaps where necessary, and wrapped the components in the laminate producing the final boxes which fit perfectly into the component slot. I was pleased with the color matching I managed to get, and will likely not ever be able to replicate. Anyways, thank you for enduring my rambling. I know my last post got a lot of traction from enablers talking about a 3-D printer, and this project has convinced me to try and obtain a scoring board and possibly a drafting board for more and better boxes. submitted by /u/ZevVeli to r/boardgames [link] [comments]

I'm quite happy with the Japanese side. The first character (虻) was the hardest one to get right; still not fully satisfied with it, but that's okay. A more direct translation of the proverb would be: "To catch neither the horsefly nor the bee."🐝 Pens used: *Zebra Sarasa Clip, 0.5mm in Vintage Blue-Black *Pentel Slicci, 0.8mm in Gold *Uni-ball Signo Broad, 1.0mm in Gold *Sakura Gelly Roll, 0.8mm in White *Y&C Gel Extreme, 0.7mm in Bronze Paper: *Astrobrights Cardstock *Genkoyoshi notebook for practice Hoping to transition to brush pens soon.

I have a Lexmark MC3326 color laser printer. I have been trying to print a timeline document with some solid colours in it, and black lines. For some reason it will NOT work on [Printworks White Cardstock, Standard, 67 lb. Vellum, 92 Bright, 67 lb/147] paper. It's missing colors all over the place, and the lines are not smooth. Is this because it's bristol/lighter cardstock? For some bizarre reason I CAN get the print to work on: mystery cardstock purchased at Staples in the early '00s, my Astrobrights colored cardstock, and standard 28lb recycled "eco" paper from Costco. I have tried adjusting multiple settings including the paper type, and amount(s) of toner used on the 67lb stuff, but it's not coming out right. I was just curious to know if anyone can explain exactly what's happening here??? I also checked the paper specs. on the Lexmark site, and it just made me more confused, as I can get the print to work on paper heavier than the maximum specified there. Exhibit A - Printworks White Cardstock, Standard, 67 lb. Vellum, 92 Bright, 67 lb/147 Exhibit B - Mystery Staples Cardstock from the early '00s Exhibit C - Astrobrights Mega Collection 65lb.

So been working on upgrading quality of proxies while being able to make them at home for quick one-off purposes. Have a Epson EcoTank and it seems to do very well printing on the vinyl sticker paper then applying to cardstock. But I've noticed that my choices of vinyl/stock are making things 'a bit different' than normal MtG cards. Not horrible, but enough I'm worried it's going to affect mixed decks (50 proxies, 50 non-proxies, lots of variable thickness). I'm currently using this Vinyl: https://a.co/d/eszO58H And this cardstock: https://a.co/d/9qs6uGu Overall it's working great but: non-proxy: 0.29mm thick Cardstock plus 1-sided label: 0.39mm thick Cardstock plus 2-side labels: 0.49mm thick So doing both sides is coming out to almost double thickness of a non-proxy card. But both-sides ends up feeling 'right'. It has the same bend-resistance and 'flick' of a non-proxy. 1-side is obviously closer to the right thickness. But it's definitely got 'more bend' to it. I could go with a thinner cardstock I guess for these labels, but I worry it'll end up still having a lot of bend to it then. (and in the end, it basically would have to be essentially just 24lb paper I think to be truly 'thin enough'). Any suggestions for different cardstock that is thinner but has more 'flick'/strength to it, or inkjet labels that are thinner as well? ========= UPDATE ============ (I was going to post this as a comment ... but Reddit won't let me, so adding this to the post) Wanted to give an update since I did the research, for others to check out ... So I went and tested a lot of different setups. Here's some data I found. In general all these measurements will be in `mm` unless I say otherwise. So first, for reference, I measured some card thickness: mm | What 0.29 | MtG Old (Chronicles FWIW) 0.30 | MtG Newer (Commander Legends) 0.33 | Mtg Foil (Edge of Eternities) 0.37 | Mtg Double Foil (FtV Gisela/Brisela) .... OK, so we've already got a pretty wide range of MtG prints there. A few other interesting things to note: mm | What 0.31 | S33 prints from MPC 0.09 | Addition of KMC Perfect Fit to thickness 0.10 | Addition of TitanShield inner sleeves (interestingly they 'claim' it's only 60 micron, nope) Now, here are the labels that I found and tried: mm | What 0.10+ | Koala Glossy Vinyl (between 0.10 & 0.11) - https://a.co/d/1k4slKd 0.10- | ZICOTO Glossy Vinyl (between 0.09 & 0.10) - https://a.co/d/btaSUg9 0.15 | Koala SemiGloss Stickers (NOT Vinyl) - https://a.co/d/7sAJP8F 0.11 | Holo Vinyl - https://a.co/d/dbmgzOe So something I found that is interesting here. Is that the Koala (and most vinyl) claim to be 100micron, and that seems legit since they come in at 0.1 (plus a little for the adhesive layer) ... The ZICOTO are supposed to be only 80 micron, and perhaps they are. They do tend to show a 'touch' thinner but barely. But I feel like the adhesive layer is thicker? Since basically with the Koala one layer added 0.11 but the next 0.10 ... Koala would be like 0.10 then 0.09 ... with the rounding. So while they are 'ever so slightly' thinner, you definitely aren't getting the thickness savings you might want. Now let's move on to paper (and other substrates) ... First just the paper: mm | What 0.30 | 92# Black Cat Cardstock - https://a.co/d/85IzZCD 0.24 | 65lb Astrobrights - https://a.co/d/iWYdLC7 ... So lets get to story time now. Basically I found a few things out: The semi-gloss sticker paper, while 'thicker', and it LOOKS 'correct', the finish is perfect. It for lack of a better statement feels ... "soft" ... It's almost hard to explain but while it looks and feels great. When applied to the cardstock, it almost seems to 'remove' any 'snap' that the cardstock had, and it becomes kinda 'noodle-y', it won't snap back after bending it, etc. It's so weird that it somehow causes that, when the vinyl ones don't. In the end while it looks so much better, I gave up on it because it just didn't feel right. The rest of the vinyl, are so so close to each other to be indistinguishable essentially. The holo is yeah, a 'touch' thicker, and the Zicoto is a touch thinner ... but at this level it's 'meh'. One of the main things I also tested was the 'finished product' snap. I would put a MtG card on the edge of a table and pull it up 45deg and let go to see how much it 'snapped' back into shape. I'd repeat that process with the cards I was producing. My findings were (besides the fact that the semi-gloss stickers sucked): DUAL SIDED: For one, that you really really need to add the vinyl stickers to BOTH sides of the cardstock to get the right 'snap'. If you don't, it might snap 'ok' in one direction, but not the other. So to really get the right feel, you gotta add the vinyl to both sides like you are laminating the cardstock-core. Thickness: So the best 'snap' and feel came from the 92# black cat plus the vinyl. But that was a pretty thick finished product, weighing in at around 0.50 thick. At that thickness a commander deck made purely of these would be 2cm thicker than normal. That's shockingly a lot taller. However, I did find that the 65# cardstock worked "just about as good". It still has a decent 'snap' to them, and now the thickness is coming in 0.44-0.45 and 0.46 for the holo. OK, this isn't too bad. Because compare that to the 0.30-0.37 ... Well we are still talking about perhaps 1.5cm of more thickness for a deck. That's ... still a lot but better. Going off the rails So here's where I went and started to research both thinner label-stock (Basically doesn't exist. I found one brand of vinyl that advertises that it's only 50micron ... but appears it's only for sale in Japan, and India perhaps? Not available to me.... So I went down the route of thinking: IF I could find a 'core' that was 0.10mm thick, but that would be stiffer than cardstock/paper ... that would be perfect. And if I'm double-laminating vinyl, well it doesn't have to be paper even ... Down the Rabbit hole I went, and I ended up looking at multiple versions of "stencil" making plastic that was 0.10mm thick. Ended up finding and buying samples of PVC, Acetate, and Mylar all at that thickness from Amazon ... I can give links, but I'm going to hold off unless asked just because ... none of them worked. And all of them were basically exactly the same: - They all were 'crisper than paper', but none had a card-like-stiffness to them. - They were all a nightmare to apply the vinyl to, because I didn't realize how much the cardstock being able to have air pass through it, made applying the vinyl easier. Against these plastic substrates, air bubbles were a huge issue and a pain to take a needle and pop and reapply and repeat. And in the end ... they all sucked ... because while the thickness now is truly MtG card thickness. They all have a very flimsy feel to them. In Summary: Where I ended: So my goal was to figure out the best combination so that they 'felt' like MtG cards in their 'snap' and so wouldn't feel all that different when shuffled. And to get the thickness down to similar. At the moment the best I can do is use the 65# stock, and dual glossy vinyl. Which ends up at that 0.44-0.45 thickness. Still thicker. However: What I can do to mitigate this, is just not inner sleeves these proxies? Right now, my 0.30 MtG or S33 prints, are always inner sleeved and so end up at around 0.40 thick. (More if they were foil). So if I don't inner sleeve this manual made proxies ... it works out just about the same. Worst case adding 0.5cm to deck if the entire deck was that way. Cost: So right now, I'm looking at around $1 per sheet (stock + vinyl + vinyl) ... for around 12.5¢ per card (I'm doing 8-up so I have space to print full-bleed). Not counting ink. And I'm specifically doing a simple black/white lotus I put together for the back on cards that aren't MDFC to only use black ink there at least, but still have something. Still cheaper that way (other than effort) than MPC. So I like that Concerns: My only real issue with these right now, is that the high-gloss vinyl looks really good, but it's def still 'too shiny'. I wish I could get a semi-gloss vinyl but that doesn't seem to exist. But worse is how 'sticky' they feel. They are rubber-y (well, Vinyl-y *grin*) ... wish they didn't have that. Future Goals: Well, I'm at a spot I'm going to move forward. But there's still a few things I'd love to find if possible, and that would be: 1. non-gloss non-matte vinyl: Basically a satin finish or semi-gloss finish. It' shocking to me that this doesn't seem to exist. I did find some labeled as 'pearl glossy' but not exactly sure what that is and it's only in a 50-pack so I don't wanna waste money on that if it's not what I really want. 2. Super Thin Vinyl: Still interested if it's possible to find thinner vinyl, such as that 50 micron stuff if it came easily/cheaply to the states. Since it might allow for 'proper' thickness with cardstock core. 3. Thinner but 'STIFF' core material: Just still feels like 'something' should exist. Some hyper-compressed cardstock for example, or plastic-cardstock that had more stiffness to it. Or pre-laminated cardstock (like MtG stock) that was also thinner, etc. For now though, I have my setup to make these at home vs relying on MPC w/ new tariffs, plus just speed/ease, because I always had the problem of saving up a big list to order a full brick of things, just to end up forgetting what all I needed ... being able to just make 'what I need, when I need it' will be very nice. Even if it takes manual effort as well. This will be especially good for making custom tokens. (And I'm looking at maybe using some of that clear-plastic stock I got, and some clear vinyl, to play around with making overlays for stuff like my Bernard deck, to show what has been turned into a 1/1 food golem :) submitted by /u/EliCrossbow to r/magicproxies [link] [comments]

I almost missed it altogether, buried as it was under all the junk mail and "preapproved" credit card offers. The announcement was printed on a 7" x 5" piece of white cardstock. The right side featured a photo of a couple while the left bore a simple message in a plain font: Just Married. David and Emma. June 6th. Acadia. I read that strangely unceremonious message twice as I stood in front of my mailbox, trying to recall how I knew the couple. The only David I knew was my brother, who was not only single, but perhaps the most single man I've ever known. I looked over to the photo of the happy couple, and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that my jaw dropped. The man in the picture was in fact my younger brother. He was strolling down the beach, hand in hand with a young woman, both of them caught mid-laugh. He gazed adoringly at the woman—at "Emma", I guess—who was covering the top half of her face with her free hand. I thought it was strange that she'd be obscuring her own eyes in a wedding announcement photo, but the card itself was so strange that I didn't dwell on her pose. The announcement was either a prank (which would have been remarkably out of character for my humorless sibling), or David had subverted my every expectation and eloped. Once I got past the initial shock of the card, I went back inside, tossed the junk mail, and gave David a call. It was evening where he was, but not so late that he would've been asleep. He picked up after six rings. "Well mazel-fucking-tov!" I told him, squinting down at the woman's face. "Huh?" "Who's the lucky gal?" He paused, clearly trying to puzzle out my question, then: "What the hell are you talking about, man?" Ok, so it was a prank. If he had secretly gotten married and wanted to hide it from his family, then he wouldn't have mailed me an announcement. From the confusion in his voice, I figured he wasn't in on the joke. It sounded like one of his friends pulled one over on him. I explained the situation, then sent him a photo of the card. Instead of laughing it off like I expected, David got so quiet I thought the call had dropped. He eventually said he had no idea who "Emma" was, nor who had sent me the card. Sure, some of his friends were pranksters, but how would any of them have gotten my address without David's knowledge? He said he'd ask his friends about it, and requested that I see who else had received the wedding announcements. Up until that point, I'd still thought of the card as a harmless joke, but the severity of David's reaction put me on edge. Maybe there actually was some woman in his life that, for whatever reason, he didn't want people knowing about. After the call, I texted my parents and a few of our family friends. One of my old neighbors had indeed received a card, and seemed a little disappointed when I revealed it was only a prank. My parents checked their mailbox upon my request, and only then did they find the announcement. (Thank god I called before they could discover it on their own. I genuinely think my mom would've had a heart attack.) So far, those are the only two households that have received the cards, and I found it bizarre that David's friends knew either of those addresses. Before I fell asleep, I texted David my update. He said that he hadn't yet found the culprit and planned to continue his search in the morning. Again, I was somewhat perturbed by his seriousness. Was I missing something? I spent the next few hours trying to figure out who his "bride" could have been. In doing so, I quickly started to feel like every other woman on Earth was named "Emma." There were so many significant women in mine and David's lives who bore that name that sorting through them all seemed pointless. There was, for example, our childhood friend and neighbor, who David harbored an unrequited crush on for years until her family moved away. There had been a tragic incident at our high school in which an Emma in David's year fell head-first behind some lockers, dying from positional asphyxia. I had dragged David along to a rager at an Emma's house in college, which had ended in both of us spending a night in jail for public intoxication. Apparently, my life was just one big stream of Emmas, and none of them seemed plausibly linked to the marriage announcements. Now, here's the part of all this that I'm still struggling to make sense of. The night after I called David about the card, I woke up in the middle of the night to my phone ringing. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was David. I assumed he was calling me about the stupid prank, and part of me wanted to ignore him until the morning. Then again, he could've been having some kind of emergency, so I picked up the phone and grumbled "what?" into the mic. There was silence for a few seconds, and then I was shocked to hear a woman's voice on the other end. "Hello." Said the voice, quiet and slow and unmistakably feminine. I sat up in bed. "What? David? Who is this?" I double-checked the screen and confirmed it was in fact David's number. Another long pause, and then: "Yes. This is David's apartment." After that, the caller hung up. Disturbed, I called David back immediately, but no one picked up. I sent him a text asking who had just called, then called him three more times. No one picked up, and I was starting to panic. Yeah, yeah—I know the most likely explanation was that he simply had a woman over, but something didn't feel right. I guess David's paranoia was rubbing off on me because I was so weirded out that I actually phoned David's buddy Mike, who lived in his same apartment building, and made him do a wellness check for me. When Mike got to the apartment, my brother was asleep inside, perfectly safe and sound. He didn't have anyone over, and there were no signs that anyone had broken into his apartment or messed with his phone. And yet, I hadn't imagined the call, at least not entirely; according to the phone logs, there had definitely been an outbound call from David's phone to mine. He had no memory of calling, and even if David had a history of sleep talking (which he doesn't) the voice certainly didn't sound like a man impersonating a woman. I'm at a complete loss. I tried giving the card a more thorough look this morning, trying to see if I'd glossed over some clue. The longer I stared at the woman in the photo, the more creeped out I got. Why was she covering her eyes? If someone had gone through the trouble of creating fake couple photos, why not give "Emma" a more natural pose? Frankly, I could only look at the marriage announcement for a few seconds at a time before I had to put it down. Maybe that's why it took me so long to realize that the woman's mouth had been flipped upside down. submitted by /u/11velociraptors to r/nosleep [link] [comments]

We've tried the following troubleshooting methods one at a time with issue persisting: Changing paper source settings from plain to premium matte then to presentation matte (printing on astrobrights 65lb cardstock) Performed nozzle check Changing paper thickness (thick to on) as printing on cardstock Improved horizontal streaks with print test for both color and black and white and was able to get a nicer print but at best most of the image printed well and then we still had a line on the bottom Changed drying speeds from standard to more Turned Bidirectional printing off Lowered density to -2 Tried regular A4 paper with plain paper and thickness off Tried glossy photo paper (this was the worst option even with selecting the gloss paper for source setting and placing drying on max the ink simply came out wet every time, which was an additional issue to the lines that happened only on glossy paper) Ideas on what to try to resolve the issue? submitted by /u/xnumberviii to r/Epson [link] [comments]

In the US, so using 8.5x11. I went down to my local Office Depot nee Office Max which is one of the few nearby copy/printer services. They don't have a huge selection. I like heavier paper for parts, like Cardstock, which is about 65lb. I found two "off white" colors - one was Astrobrights which was fairly inexpensive for 50 sheets. Then I found a "Parchment" (Ivory) paper that was a similar weight. I thought the Astrobrights was a bit "orangey" if you will (even though "Cream" is the color) and the Parchment was too "grey". It's made to look like old parchment of course, but I think that can look corny as well. Do you have a particular go to color/brand/weight for parts? Amazon has millions... I'm less concerned about scores in general, and as a DIY'r not looking to hunt down things online that are more expensive and so on. But if I find a paper that works for parts if I can use it for scores too, great, and if there's an 11x17 I can fold in half for either when they're just a few pages, that's cool too. submitted by /u/65TwinReverbRI to r/composer [link] [comments]

Pretty happy with how they came out. Art was heavily insipred from LexPressBooks on Etsy. My wife recently got into reading, and hasn't read a book for fun since highschool. This series was the first my wife has ever finished and I'm proud that she's completed a full series and still enjoys reading. Figured this would be a good gift and project for me to do. I bought Astrobright cardstock to roughly match the cover's color, and a 1/8'' project wood sheet from Lowes as the cover board. I also used acrylic paint to paint the white book fabric that I bought. This project was done after about a week and a half of research so I'm sure not everything is optimal, and advice for future books would be welcome if there are any glaring issues. submitted by /u/Sharbae to r/bookbinding [link] [comments]

So I threw 110lb cardstock paper into my Canon Pixma TS6020 not knowing it was not supported. The paper got jammed. I was able to get it out, but now its making loud sounds when trying to print and my regular printer paper is now getting jammed and not printing. Did I break my printer or is it fixable? Here's a video of the issue: icloud link (you don't have to download. just click the video on the bottom of the webpage and it will play) This is the paper I tried to use that broke my printer: target link. ​ But I used this and had no issue even though its over the recommended limit: target link. ​ According to this site my weight limit is 28lbs but my printer had no issues (that I know of) with 65lb cardstock but then broke with 110lb. ​ I also didn't intentionally try to push it to the limit. I just didn't know there was a limit. submitted by /u/Giggadream to r/printers [link] [comments]

Sorry the picture doesn't do it justice. Both are a pale green in real life and have the consistency of a piece of printer paper. The first one has little faint splotches of white. The second one is probably more my favorite. I really like the post-consumer, little pieces of paper fiber, robin egg speckled look. I did buy Astrobrights colored cardstock in "Stardust White", but it's way too thick, and it's pretty much just white cardstock with bits of color flecks. Nothing wrong with that but I'm trying to get paper like this. My local library cuts scraps of it like this and leaves it around. I will ask them too when I get the time to go again, but I figured they might also not even know, so I wanted to ask you guys too. I also do not mind what color the paper is. https://preview.redd.it/2xc12jdd6n1b1.jpg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a48bfe577e436a9c01313db7bdb39e2af14e33b0 submitted by /u/kittyschie to r/scrapbooking [link] [comments]

​ The two shapes of tiles. You can google Penrose tiles if you don't know what this is all about. The slots are cut the right size for tabs and are a little off center so they won't match up if you flip them. The result of fitting a bunch of these together. It took two 8.5x11 sheets of white and one of red, with a few tiles left over. The edges don't have to be jagged but you will need to be more careful than I am. You can also fold the tabs if you want. Here's what it looks like underneath. It's not supposed to be displayed this way, but it's actually rather pretty. submitted by /u/CGOL1970 to r/cricut [link] [comments]

I'm trying to see how drawing on colored paper can extend the color palette I'm working with, but it seems like sketchbook paper only comes in white, grey, tan, black, and OCCASIONALLY a very low-saturation blue. Is this a thing that exists, to anyone's knowledge? I'll buy reams of astrobright cardstock if I can't find an alternative, but I'd prefer it already be in book form. submitted by /u/veralydaine to r/HelpMeFind [link] [comments]

Many years ago I worked at Kinko's (now FedEx Office). I often worked graveyard shifts and had to deal with lots of people early in the morning who "hadn't had their coffee yet". For some context, overnight was the time when long machine runs were printed and tedious finishing work was done. Being the only one working until 6am when the morning crew started to trickle in, I was often in the middle of something when the customer came in and it would take me a second to get to the counter to help them. One morning around 5am I am in the back doing some binding work. I hear the door alarm and had just put a perfect binding in the heater. This takes about 15 to 20 seconds to melt the glue and bind the pages. I (ME) yell from the back, "I'll be right out." Bitchy Customer (BC) yells back, "I'm in a hurry." I finish the binding and get up to the counter. ME: Sorry about the wait. What can I do for you. BC: Can I see your resume paper selection? Our resume papers were literally sitting six inches away from her on the counter, in a little bound book that had "RESUME PAPER" printed in big bold letters. I slide the book over in front of her and open it up. As she flips through it she proceeds to complain about the color and texture of every paper before asking me the price. ME: 15 cents per copy, plus 7 cents if you want to print on the second side. BC: That's expensive don't you have any better paper for that price? ME: Sorry, that's our full selection of resume papers. The only other options are plain white copy paper, Astrobrights (neon colored) or card stock. Are you going to need this double sided or single sided? I could see that she had in front of her a two page resume, which usually printed single sided. BC: Which one is cheaper? ME: Double sided will be cheaper. But for resume's our customers usually prefer single sided. BC: Just give me 50 copies double sided on the sandstone. I confirm her selection and head back to the copier to complete her order. I print out a proof and as a matter of quality assurance I give it a once over to confirm we're not getting any fuser marks, random spots, streaks, etc.. I notice that her job title on her most recent job was something like "Copyweiter". I assumed she meant copywriter and confirmed as much by reading a bit of the description. ME: Ma'am, I noticed your previous job title is... BC: (interrupting) I'd appreciate it if you didn't snoop on my personal information. ME: I apologize, I just noticed a ty... BC: Please just print my order. ME: (malicious compliance kicking in) Ok. I printed the entire stack of 50 resumes and was squaring them up when I noticed "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." in the last paragraph on the page. At this point I had to tell her - right? As I'm walking over to the counter to show her the missed filler text she yells, BC: WILL YOU PLEASE NOT CRIMP THE PAGES. I NEED TO HAND THOSE OUT. So I make it to the counter gently placing her copies in a bag and rang her out. She did come back later to complain, but my manager assured her that we don't make it a practice to proofread customer's documents as that's their responsibility. TL;DR: Bitchy customer won't listen when I try to tell her her resume has lots of typos. So I make her copies exactly as she asked. She probably had a hard time finding a job as a copywriter when she couldn't even spell her own title or proofread her own resume. submitted by /u/vegasmacguy to r/MaliciousCompliance [link] [comments]
