Tips for Trading and Sports Card Printing
Cards are usually printed on thick and sturdy cardstock. We offer this type of paper and there are some things to know about it. Many inkjet printers are not designed to feed heavy and thick paper. Before buying a full box of any cardstock, order samples first and verify your printer will be happy with the paper.

Matte Papers for Trading & Baseball Cards
Matte papers have very little, if any, sheen. They are coated so they can produce sharp details and bright, bold colors. Polar Matte is perhaps the best photo matte paper you can find today. Matte papers cost a bit less than glossy or satin. The surface can scratch with repeated use, making matte papers good candidates for lamination.
