568931 2007-07-13 23:53:00 A young friend of mine has taken up assembling cut out paper kits downloaded from the web but is having trouble finding suitable card stock. Can anyone point me to a source of A4 card. It needs to be thicker/stiffer than photo paper, but still thin/flexible enough to go through an inkjet printer. tutaenui (1724)

They did have a good range called "Kaskad" that seems to have been dropped. I used the Kaskad 225gsm for folding cards. The replacement brand has nothing near as useful.

I've just tried some "Craftwork" white 220gsm from the Warehouse but it is too thick to go through a Canon printer. The weight of paper depends on the surface treatment same gsm without white finish etc = thicker.
