Gah. Apparently I broke an Internet etiquette rule when I bumped an old thread instead of starting a new one.. So sorry. I’ll do better next time.
In any event, I think this thread has some really good useful information.
I decided to order the Accent Opaque 120 lb for my bases. I like that it is 97 on the brightness scale and it’s heavy weight and smooth. I doubt it will go through my old printer, but I hoping to get a new printer sometime in the near future.
Thank you to the previous posters and the new replies. I appreciate it.

Thank you to the previous posters and the new replies. I appreciate it. I found your bump very timely! I was looking for white cardstock to use for oxide ink blending, but only for card fronts, not card bases. After a bit of a rabbit hold, I decided on 80lb. Neenah Classic Crest Coverstock in Solar White. I tested it out yesterday and I'm very pleased. |

Reams of Neenah 110lb (297 gsm) from amazon are my go to. The model number 04456 smooth is good. I don't know how it compares to PTI but it's very heavy and sturdy, perfect for card bases. I order from amazon because shipping costs are painful anywhere else. I do the same! Neenah 110 #04456. Don't get the index #110 it is NOT the same. Index is like an index card. Jennifer Mcguire did a comparison video of the Neenah cardstock's and other cardstock last year. It's on her youtube channel. For colored card stock I like My Favorite Things papers which is 100 pound and nice for die cutting as well. |
