    Default Advice needed on printing to card

    Hi

    Can anyone recommed me any photo card/paper that will allow me to print photos on it at high quality.
    My printer is an Epson R300.

    I've seen some photo paper that was 220gsm but it seems a bit thin.

    Do any of you print greeting cards or anything like that, what paper do you use?

    Thanks for any advice

    the OH uses a 240 for crafting etc but tbh it's still too thin.

    I have found some 350gsm here which should do you. What size/finish you looking for? there's £2.95 postage so order enough to make it worth your while.

    epson range of photo paper does the job for me . 250gsm excelent results with resin backing giving a very pro feel and finish

    and then i read the title of this post printing to CARD. in my opinion printing to card you will not get high quality prints due to the ink bleeding into the paper too much you need the special coatings to achevie this

    Was looking for A4, only printing 6x4 but can print a couple on a page and cut them down, cheers. Found some 260gsm in Rymans, think it will do but still seems thin,

    Seen photo card and photo paper, is there a difference. If it states 260gsm is that the same regardless of weather its card or paper.

    For example what are business cards printed on? 260 would be way to think for a business card.
