Printing on cardstock
I have a customer wanting 20 - 4.25" x 11" cards printed up. Each one would be different. I would do this on my laser jet printer but I can't print bleeds on it. Is there a card stock we can use on the versacamm?

I love, love, love Roland's Solvent glossy paper
It's not really glossy like photo paper you buy for inkjets. It's got a really nice finish and I think might be perfect for your cards
I printed huge wall calendars and a bunch of posters with it and they worked out great
Let the media dry overnight, though
It feels dry when coming out of the printer but I don't trust it being THOROUGHLY dry
Wait overnight and you should be fine

I checked the product out on the Roland site. It looks thinner than what I'm am trying to match.

I have no way of knowing what you're trying to match, John............but if you're looking for heavyweight card stock, you're right, this may not be the product you're looking for
I've had the opposite reaction. When my customers ask for a poster and I hand them the graphic on this media, they're pleasantly surprised. It's definitely a lot heavier than 'regular' poster paper but it's not heavy, heavy, heavyweight.
I'm not good with the different weights they have for paper............60lb, 96lb, etc.
It feels about the weight of a greeting card, maybe a little heavier. Definitely heavier than the file folders sitting on my desk.
The cover of my SanMar catalog is about right
..............best I can do for a description

I will have to request a sample then. I was comparing the customer's sample to my OneStop cover and they are so close I can't tell the difference but that video made it look almost like paper. Now they were handling a big sheet in the video and I am working with a small piece so the big sheet in the video could be deceiving.
