Hi,
You very welcome!

Thank you for the kind comments.

Had all of the info, just put it together to find the best possible cardstock for my designs. After seeing all of the questions, the posting of it was an easy choice.

Feel free to add any other info you might have.

Be sure to correct mine if there is a mistake anywhere.

Hope it all helps!

Also if I may add, check and see if you have a paper distributor, the business that the printer buys from, in your area. You may be able to "sample" some papers from these companies, walk in and explain your project and most times you'll have piqued their interest enough that they'll suggest some papers to you. Here in the mid-south area we have several easy access companies Athens, Dennis, Unisource and Xpedx. They cover pretty much all the paper mills as outlets for paper stock including synthetics. For the Teslin synthetic paper we order direct from GPA papers. Hope this helps add to the conversation.

Must have missed this post!

Great info! Thanks for posting it!

Another Great Source is West Coast Paper-you can order online and they will ship large sheets of cardstock. WCP Solutions
Ordered some from them when I was in Idaho and having difficulties locating a supply of cardstock to fit my wide format printer. That was back in 2008-2009.
