Paper guide
Best paper for durable fan-made photocards
Paper choice changes stiffness, color, glare, and how cleanly the card trims. Match the stock to your printer and intended finish.
Coated cardstock
A 250–350 gsm coated stock offers collectible-card stiffness and clean color. Confirm that your printer can feed the chosen weight.
Photo paper
Photo paper produces vivid color but may feel thinner or show fingerprints. Double-sided printing requires compatible media.
Laminate and synthetic media
A thin laminate adds durability but changes thickness and glare. Make a test card before finishing a full sheet.
