At SoAmazing.com we use two types of cardstock for printing out our SoAmazing Cards. Our preferred Cardstock is a heavy photo paper made by Epson. We also use a less expensive option which we purchase from OfficeMax, but is also available from many local office supply stores. (See our page: "Buy Cardstock" for details.) Neither type of Cardstock is perforated.

The problem with using perforated business cardstock is that it is very difficult to line up cards printed off the Internet with the perforations. Print programs from applications on your PC work well, but there are too many variables to try to cover when printing from the Internet. Among the variables is that while each user controls the setting of print margins on his PC, most end up using the default margin settings on their computer which vary from operating system to operating system.

The best method of cutting the cards is by hand with a pair of scissors. Using a paper cutter is frustrating because the Internet does not allow cards to be printed out with precise alignment either horizontally or vertically. And, the paper cutter wants to go in a straight line!

There are some situations where printing out the cards on regular computer or copy paper works fine. But this caution, you end up with the size, shape and look of a card, but it does not feel or act like a card.
