Real TCG cardstock used in commercial TCG manufacture. Made for offset presses, but UV-inkjet or laser printers work. Will not work with inkjet printers unless you do the vinyl sticker or method.

The "Actual Results" photo was done with a Canon ImageCLASS. The ImageClass can handle the 330gsm (but not foil), and is the best entry-level printer for this cardstock.

Check the MTG proxy subreddit for more printer info.

Letter size (8.5*11in) sheets. Fits in standard printers.

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.

Smooth Silk Finish (matte with a slight shine).
Coated surface: 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 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.
