If you haven't read it yet, start reading now...

...Mrs Corn here, reporting the final installment of our visit to Paper-Source this weekend for their wedding event. Earlier installments include:

Satiating our appetites for both yummy sweets and delectably calligraphic writing

By far, the most exciting thing that happened during our visit to the store was that we (or rather, our Weddingbee shirts) were recognised by Hayley Hoffman, the East Coast Area Manager of Paper-Source. She had read Mrs Raspberry's post last year about the paper-wedding dress that was on display in Alexandria.


Now, I will be the first to admit, it was great getting recognised...but the best part of meeting Hayley was that we got to discuss printers with her. So why is that so exciting? Basically, Hayley gave us the rundown on the best printer to use with Paper-Source materials for all of your projects.

The printer they used in the store during the demonstrations was the Epson RX595.


So what makes the Epson the go-to printer for all of your DIY printing needs? Specifically, it is a back loading printer, which means you can load up some pretty heavy cardstock in it and it will still feed properly. Additionally, and this is key, it will feed small paper right through the printer. So when you have some scraps left over and you want to print on them and make your RSVP cards, or favor tags, or whatever you can just load it in the back of the printer, set up your document and print away. Additionally, the inks that the Epson use are very high quality and produce beautiful documents.

Hayley was very excited to talk to us about the printer because one of the biggest questions they get, and one of the biggest topics of conversation around here, is what is the best printer to use for my DIY needs. She even went so far as to say that Paper-Source is working with Epson to have their printers in all of their stores.

So there you go, the piece de' resistance, the gold at the end of the rainbow, the answer to the unanswerable question. Now THAT was worth sticking around for!!

This has been Mrs Corn, dutifully reporting to you from the field with Canary and Toucan!

I'm out!
