Hey everyone!
I was curious what type of printer you all use to print your bootleg cards? Also curious what cardstock size and type of finish you use. Thanks in advance!

As far as home printers go, most are junk. It's really a crap shoot in getting good quality. I have an Epson, which works "ok", but ink runs out fast and is expensive. You can check with Office Max or Best Buy, places like that to find higher quality printers, but they'll cost you. A lot. Check online, but I'm Leary of shippers not handling with care?!
Im not sure what's the best way, other than shop around, ask questions, let them know what you want to do!
As for paper, I use bright white, 110# cardstock. You can find that anywhere that sells paper products or office equipment. I'm not sure what they use for the official cards, if they use glossy or matte, or what? Bring a sample with and ask around if they have that weight!
Hope this helps? Good luck with your search! 👍

My HP Officejet Pro prints cards great, and I use the cardstock Justin Case suggested. Though, I run out of ink QUICK, and it isn't cheap, so mass produced cards are done professionally with help from some GREAT peers. |

Be careful trying to print double sided. Experimentation burns £££. My printer prob to blame but they never line up. Sometimes get lucky but mostly I don’t. I gave up trying to print in the end. Leave it to the pros and the talented guys on the board now. Printer places near me not interested in taking on lots of different cards. If you want to do the same image / card many times it’s not so bad. Otherwise it’s loads of money. Not trying to put you off but it’s tough. I always prefer a physical card but if I get a pdf then am more than happy to settle
