Staples photo supreme double-sided matte paper

For those of you who have access to a Staples store and have need for a good
heavy weight double sided matte paper, I just saw our Sunday local paper
with weekly special sale supplements. Staples has this paper on sale for
$4.98 per 50 sheet package. It is usually $12.98. I've used it primarily
for greeting and holiday cards. Good weight and prints extremely well on
both sides.

Does it have a nicer finish that regular card stock? Do you know how
long the sale goes?

Thanks!

Regular card stock is not coated specifically for inkjet printing. You will
get much better quality photo prints with a coated paper. For text it
really doesn't matter.

That's what I figured. I have done nice cards on cardstock, but I have
been looking for a better paper that would be heavy enough for cards,
but have a nicer look. I am planning to do over 300 cards this
Christmas season, and I do have a $50 gift card for staples that I
earned at work. Staples is a bit further away, but they didn't have
other office supply stores to chose from when I picked my card. So,
this looks like a great use for it.

Quite frequently Staple has Epson heavyweight matte paper on sale.
