Professional quality blank 310gsm black core cardstock that is used by modern commercial TCGs in industrial offset printers.

Letter size (8.5*11in) sheets. Fits in standard printers. A high gsm rated rear-fed laser printer is the most economical compatible printing technology. UV Inkjet produces the professional results. It will likely jam any non-rear-fed printer. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH NON-UV INKJET PRINTERS.

COMPATIBLE WITH:
- Laser (check paper thickness rating)
- UV Inkjet

Back fed laser printers or UV based inkjet produce good results. The melted toner acts as a sort of varnish (water resistant, contributes some snap) which is on commercially produced cards. Use the highest thickness setting so that the printer uses the highest fuser temperature, or you may see flaking. For higher quality, you will need to tweak the settings of your printer and color management.

310gsm is the same thickness as non-foil Pokemon or MTG cards, however final feel depends on if you apply a varnish layer.

Smooth Silk Finish (matte with a slight shine).
Coated surface: Most inkjet ink will not absorb. Must use a laser printer or UV inkjet printer. NOT embossed or linen finish.

Each letter size sheet fits 9 poker (63*88mm) MTG/PKM) sized cards.

For commercial industry quality, a flatbed UV printer is needed because it uses UV ink and applies a varnish layer. There are combo flatbed/roll DTF printers that can also be used for hot stamping/foiling. You can still get great results from laser printers.
