Create
Treat that special someone to a DIY Valentine’s Day gift and create anything from a personalised card to a gift box. All great crafts need a solid base and the best place to start is with matte paper. Matte papers, like the Canon MP-101D Double-Sided Matte Paper¹ and Canon MP-101 Matte Photo Paper¹, can be used for a range of crafts including greeting cards and displays. This makes them excellent for creating the perfect personalised gift with a sleek, sturdy professional looking finish without any glossiness. The MP-101D Double-Sided Matte Paper is compatible with our PIXMA printers and comes in three sizes: A4, 7”x10” and 12”x12”. These are available in packs with 50, 20 and 30 sheets, respectively.
