I've been searching high and low for paper thick enough to print some playing cards. I've got a laser printer (brother) and my own cutter and although I've been to all the local paper supply stores in my area, I can't find a paper thick enough to print on both sides and not see through it (because they're playing cards).
I've also gone the route of online paper distributors. One has an excellent type of paper, but it's perforated (can't use it) and they won't tell me what the weight is or any more information that I can just find and buy. The others send me sample cards, which would work, but they're too expensive for my business at the moment. these playing cards aren't just numbers with images so I can't just buy a deck from one of those companies either.
Paper weight is confusing because there's different weights, different stocks, and I'd love to get a variety of thicknesses and try them all until I find one in particular, then just buy that; but no one sells anything but an entire ream of paper.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
