[Jacob-list] Saving Home Printer Pictures

[Kathryn Shirley]

They make photo paper for printers, you know.  Costs up to a dollar a
page.  Can be ordered from specialty catalogs.  I have my business cards
printed on this paper.  The front is like regular photo paper and the back
is like regular (light) card stock and can be written on with a pen.  Once
ink is dry it is waterproof.  I dunked my business cards in water to be
sure!
