Industry quality 330gsm black core cardstock that is used for modern commercial TCGs in offset printers.
A4 sheets. Fits in standard consumer printers. A back-fed laser printer, pigment-based inkjet, or UV inkjet is the most compatible printing technology. It will jam any non-back fed printer. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DYE-BASED INKJET PRINTERS. This paper has a surface coating which prevents dye absorbtion. Printing technology that prints on the surface is required (listed above).
Back fed laser printers (check the paper thickness gsm specification of your printer, usually they understate what it can handle) 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.
330gsm (.34mm) is closest to MTG cards. 310gsm (.3mm) is closest to PKMN cards.
Smooth Silk Finish (matte with a slight shine). Coated surface: Consumer dye-based inkjet ink will not absorb. Must use a laser printer, dye-based inkjet, or UV inkjet printer. NOT embossed or linen finish.
Each A4 sheet fits 9 poker (63*88mm) Poker MTG/PKM/sized cards. 180 cards total in 20 sheets.
For commercial industry quality, a flatbed DTF 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 or surface printing (not dye-based) inkjet printing.
