1. The cheapest, easiest way to make cards: normal paper + lamination. Print on ordinary printer paper, then run the sheets through a laminator before cutting. Lamination makes the cards stiff, glossy and spill-proof, for much less than thick card stock, which often jams home printers anyway.
2. Printing on both sides? Check your printer’s alignment first! Many home printers shift the back of the page by a few millimetres, so card backs end up crooked or cut off. Before printing a whole deck, use “Load the alignment test” in the editor’s Card backs settings. It costs one sheet of plain paper and shows exactly how far off your printer is. If the backs don’t line up, adjust the back page offset until they do, then print your cards.
