I've found several title strip templetes on the internet. Most are Microsoft Word based. If anyone has used these, what type of paper do you use? Regular printer paper is too flimsy and doesn't slide in easily. The title strips offered by the juke outlets are too expensive (IMHO). What are the members views on this?

I use my wife's decoupagé paper, the stuff she uses to make greetings cards.
It's slightly thicker than normal cheap printer paper and is of a consistent thickness, so doesn't appear blotchy.
I use this free site which is excellent.
Although it does centre the text, with long titles or artists' names, I bang in up to three spaces at each end to ensure the full text doesn't get too close to the ends of the boxes.

Thanks D.R.
I'll try the card stock. I'm surprised there was no more input than 1 person. Surely with hundreds of members, some others would give an idea?! But thanks anyway.

Sorry for the lack of responses, this is unusual, I guess the "usual suspects" are probably down the pub.

Guys,
Don't think so--question was answered--"card stock" is what was used---why post more ?
