Bought a new printer. One of the paper settings is Hagaki. What is
this paper? What does it look like?

Also, I have some paper that is (intentionally) not smooth. I think
it may be called parchment paper, but I'm not sure about that. My new
printer doesn't have this paper type option, but it has many others.
Anyone recommend a paper setting for this type of paper?

Thanks a lot, regards, dnw.


Don't know about it being a type of paper but it is a paper size.
It is 5.3" x 3.94".

Hagaki is a postcard with the size specified by Japan post. Normally, a
stamp and five rectangles with red line for post code area are already
printed on front side; the back of the card is blank. Stock varies from
about 180g/mē to 250g/mē. The size is about 134mm X 100mm. There is fixed
postage rate for 'Hagaki size' so if you use this size postcard you can
send a message on it at the cheapest price to anywhere in Japan.

Interestingly, the kanji characters for 'Hagaki' mean 'a leaf with a
message written on it'.
