Digital Cardstock Paper

Question: Can I print on Astrolite Matte Cardstock, 19 x 13 LCI 112lb Cover using my home printer? Epson Stylus PHOTO 1400 (19 x 13 paper capability) If not, can you recommend a paper that is similar? I am printing a flat card 4 x 9.25 card with a photo on it and would like it to look and feel professionally done.

Answer: The Astrolite Matte Digital cardstock is designed for an HP Indigo, so we would not recommend using it in a home printer. Most home printers can handle 80lb / 216gsm - 100lb / 270GSM without issue (testing recommended) therefore we suggest trying LCI Radiant White Smooth which is offered in various weights and has a very even surface for print. Keep in mind LCI Brand cardstocks are engineered for professional printing techniques and not home printing.
