Obituary Paper Choices

Funeral arrangements can yield many decisions while preparing for the funeral service. Some of those decisions include a church or chapel funeral? Cremation or Traditional funeral? There is one unique decision I’d like to bring to your attention. And that is the importance of choosing the right paper to print an obituary on. I learned a valuable lesson when I printed my aunt’s obituary on 20lbs. copy paper. Needless to say, it was a disaster!

The obituary is a memorial keepsake that the family usually stores in their archives. To preserve the obituary from fading, smearing or discoloration it’s important to choose paper that is properly suited for your print output device. This will ensure the longevity and preservation of the document. Obituaries get archived in the same fashion as wedding programs, invitations and photographs. Families love to show their keepsakes during the holiday and family gatherings.

We suggest using Hammermill Color Copy paper for its 98-brightness Photo White™shade. Each sheet is Acid-free for added archival quality that extends the life of the document. Color Copy is very sturdy (28 to 32 lbs.) and made specifically for the color laser printer. It is currently available in 60, 80 and 100 lbs. card stock. In ten or fifteen years you wont be disappointed.

Benefits:

• Super bright Photo White for excellent image contrast and color reproduction

• Heavier basis weights enable better color registration and provides a more stable surface for heavier toner applications

• Ultra smooth finish provides a superior surface for perfect toner blending and
  brilliant color

For inkjet user we suggest Matte high-resolution coated paper. Normally, this pack of paper is sold in bundles of a 100 sheets. There is a major difference between regular inkjet paper and Matte high-resolution paper. Visit there website at: http://www.jetprintphoto.com to learn more about the Imaging and Photo paper. JetPrint Imaging and Photo paper can be purchased locally at Wal-Mart. 

The Funeral Program/Obituary is the number #1 memorial keepsake distributed at funeral services. Funeral attendees look forward to receiving a copy of the obituary keepsake, so have plenty available. By following this short guide your memories will be preserved for many years.
