Production Lesson(s)
Using 110# stock duplexed to make it 220# made for absolutely zero show-through. It also seemed to feel a bit more stiff than the normal 220#. Studio On Fire seems to produce the cleanest cut edges in the business. Perhaps as a result of duplexing? Or, maybe it's just their extra attention to detail.
