top tip and a question Anonymous
top tip: photographic printer card (167 or 220 gsm) perfect for papercraft, particularly as it's a substrate designed for stylus inks.

question: I abandoned my attempt at a Millenium Falcon (crappy card) however I noticed some smaller pieces with tabs that overlapped each other. How does /po/ handle these cases?

Isn't that like... more expensive than regular cardstock? And I don't know this, but is it like "normal" photopaper, like you can't touch the photo or else it will leave fingermarks on the photo/papercraft in this case?

Show /po/ what you're talking about exactly, because just with words, I don't get what you're saying exactly?

It's slightly more expensive than "normal" card-stock, esp if you buy the but you can get inexpensive generics (www.staples.co.uk for the UK).

There are two types of photographic card. Matte and glossy. Glossy is what is usually associated with photographs. And no I wouldn't use it for papercraft for the reasons you state. Matte has a slight sheen, but the ink takes well and the results look good. No problems with finger-prints: it looks like high-quality card-stock with an excellent grain.

I'm at work, so I'll scan an example later.
