Title: Coated Cardstock or Cover Stock?
Post by: hugowolf on May 31, 2013, 10:23:15 pm

Does anyone know of a source (US) for inkjet coated cardstock; something in the 200 g/m² range. I can get uncoated 200 g/m² stock for less than $30 a ream (> 6¢ per sheet), but haven't found any inexpensive C2S stock. I don't need archival quality. I don't care whether it is acid free, lignin free, or full of OBAs.

Thanks. I will put it down as a possibilty. Unfortunately, with shipping, its is 10x the cost of uncoated stock.
