Title: Recommended paper for Note Cards
Post by: schrimsher2017 on December 29, 2022, 09:32:30 am
Does anyone have a recommendation for a heavy paper for printing 5" x 7" note cards?

Checkout Red River Papers. They have a wide selection of precut and scored cards for inkjet printing. No affiliation, just a long  time user of some of their products.

Agree--Red River has great stuff.

Red River is what I use. They offer gloss, stain and matte finishes. They all print great on my Epson P900.

Another vote for Red River.  One issue is that some of their thinner card stocks curl a bit and don't stand up all that well.  I currently use 96lb Pecos Gloss.  the downside can be that in some printers you may have to feed them one at a time.

I have used Moab cards, and still have too many blanks, but, quick check of that company's web site, and something has changed. I'd still give it a try.

For one or just a few of, I am using Strathmore's cards. I attach a separately printed photograph to the front of the card with the enclosed double sided tabs. I pre-print my card stock with my logo and information on the back; and occasionally print a message on the inside of the card (using InDesign for that task). for large quantities, I use my digital press provider, in my case, Pikto.ca
