Color Tree's Black Core TCG Cardstock sku-18529572728

Color Tree's Cardstock is smooth silk-finish black-core stock for printing TCG cards. This pack has 20 sheets of 330gsm stock, each 8.5 by 11 inches and large enough for 9 poker-size cards measuring 63 by 88mm. The coated surface does not absorb dye or pigment ink unless it is UV-cured, so it is not compatible with non-UV inkjet printers.

A rear-fed laser printer or UV inkjet is recommended; non-rear-fed printers will jam. Customers have reported using the Kyocera TASKalfa 6053ci, Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw, and Roland TruVis MG-300. For laser printing, use the rear-feed tray, do not duplex, check the printer's supported paper thickness, and use its highest thickness setting to help the toner adhere.

Printer and color settings may need adjustment. Melted toner adds water resistance and stiffness. UV inkjet printers can print on foil and may apply white and varnish layers; some flatbed models can print over old cards, and combination roll/flatbed models can spot-foil. The 330gsm stock at .34mm is closest to MTG cards; 310gsm at .3mm is closest to PKMN cards.

A 350gsm white-core option is also described as a budget choice. SKU sku-18529572728; UPC 305616516762.
