Just an FYI for someone who has a fancy laser printer... if you print with the wax laser printers do not laminate because the wax will melt. If you use a regular ol' laser printer it works great.

Just incase someone just got a new fancy printer at work and found out it was using wax... I tried it, it bleeds all over.

The lamination im using is the "do-it-yourself" sticky side lamination, no heat required. Works pretty good, its about $2 for a 5 foot roll, i tried it out on a few army cards last night.

Druid my printer is full of ink, new printer head as well, could probably do your printing justice

Great, then well do it at your place, can your printer handle 100+ lb paper weight (card stock)? and can we print double side by re-feeding the sheet upsidedown?

Shouldn't be an issue, we might have to give it a try to verify though.  I don't see an issue other then a slight bend as the paper is fed through.

Check your printer specs online, the extra thickness might jam in the rollers or collide with the print head.

I checked that before posting, and their doesn't appear to be anything other then size listed.  Trial might be the only way to know.

270 grams per sq metre for the MP390
From here... http://www.itreviews.co.uk/hardware/h750i.htm It could be correct then again it might be just all internet truths.

According to some photo-paper I have sitting beside me that I print on its 270 g/m^2 so we can assume that thats max it also has below that 17.91 lbs, so i guess the printer cannot do 100lbs?

I think my brother has A&A, i recall giving him a box of old pc games that I no longer played, and I bet its in that box as when I looked through my stuff I didnt see it.

Ya, i should be home tonight, so drop off the cards.  I gotta pick up black ink (guess im out) but I wont be doing that till tomorrow (unless you want to score it? its about $10 model "BCI-24").  To be honest im not sure I could have carried that stuff upstairs with me anyways.  I barely made it inside before another evacuation was in order (if you catch what im sayin :P)

Doh! i'll have to bug him for it then, that game is impossible to find these days. I might get lucky online but i doubt it.

Yeah I'll drop it off tonight, I'll see what i can do about your black ink, I will be returning that multi colored card stock today, i found some pure-white at the downtown staples.

  To be honest im not sure I could have carried that stuff upstairs with me anyways.  I barely made it inside before another evacuation was in order (if you catch what im sayin :P)

Yeah, pretty brutall. I knew it would be the kind of hangover that a guy swears off drinking for life while hugging the bowl, and you'd still be feeling it two days later.  :P

I can't guarantee that I will be able to do much tonight, I have a pretty tight deadline on my project and losing 2 days this weekend hurt pretty bad as I had counted on getting 10 hours or more done then.  I will have them done before we play again for sure, probably before this weekend if I can find the time.

We wouldn't be playing (at least I wont be) till March by the looks of it?
