Digital Paper Kits

Amuse Studio has two wonderful new Digital Paper Kits available for purchase for only $4.99.  There is a Trick or Treat kit and a Dear Santa Digital kit.  You get the files emailed to you within 48 hours and you can print them out yourself with beautiful results!  I decided to print out the Trick or Treat papers in the easy to print 8.5" x 11" format.  I was very pleased with the outcome. 

Our Digital Paper Kits include eight 3" x 4" and two 4" x 6" journaling card designs. These are provided as individual PNG files as well as 8.5" x 11" PDF files. There are also 9 patterned paper designs. These are provided as 6" x 6" and 8.5" x 11" PDF files. Just open and print!
The fun thing about our Digital Paper Kits is that you can print what you need whenever you wish. You'll never run out. Our Digital Paper Kits are provided for personal use only. 
There are so many fun patterns to use for Halloween!  My favorite is the black stripe, you can use just a small strip on a card & it makes a nice statement.  The spider web pattern is also cool for your spooky cards and treats.  The chevron pattern is another favorite along with the black/white circles.  
Canon Matte Photo Paper (MP-101) is the preferred paper for printing digital cards and papers. I bought the Canon Photo paper on Amazon.  I have also seen it at Staples.  Amuse Studio Sugar Cardstock works well too.
The color of the final, printed item may vary significantly from the image on screen. This could happen for a number of reasons, but more often than not in the experience with digital printables, has everything to do with the type of paper you are printing on. (Some color variance from screen to paper is normal and unavoidable.) For example, if you print the same file on regular copy paper, Amuse Studio Sugar Cardstock, and the preferred paper, you will see three very different colors. 
Selecting "high quality" versus "standard" print quality also affects the color. For instance if we print the files on Canon paper in "High" and "Standard," we get slightly different variances in color because of the amount of ink the printer is putting out. This is normal. 
Amuse Studio tested these files on a number of different printers (low and high end) and achieved nearly the same printed result when using the Canon Matte Photo Paper and a high quality print setting. Amuse Studio used a $60 Canon Pixma Printer as the test baseline because they viewed it as a basic home printer that anyone would have - not a fancy, expensive photo printer. Special printers and equipment aren't needed to get great results from our files.
(My home printer is an HP Photosmart 7520 - and I used the photo paper setting)
