With several designs ready for print the final thing to consider before doing so was to decide which stock they should be printed on. Initially I tried the quality and cheap paper from the draws in the Studio which yielded some surprising results. The quality paper shockingly failed to print well and came out somewhat offset whilst the cheap paper actually worked better albeit somewhat desaturated. I then used stock brought from the library and gloss stock from digital print to judge the difference between the two.
Quality Stock
Library Stock
Gloss Stock
Ultimately I felt that the gloss stock looked the best whilst cheap paper added a old and worn aesthetic quality to the prints but the library stock looked the best for the cost of production.
The cheap paper cost 25p to produce, the library stock 55p and the gloss 75p. If I am to consider cost of production vs. quality the library stock would probably win out. It is not the most expensive yet is of a more than acceptable quality.
