Postcard paper recommendation

Hello people,

can somebody recommend to me a paper that I could use to print postcards on my canon pro-100s? I would need the normal backside to print the stamp window and Adress line and the front side should be coated so I can print on it. I saw the hahnemühle postcard portfolio paper but it has rounded edges which is not really what I want. A big problem is that online printing services offer only CMYK prints, I really like the flexibility to print whenever I want and which motive instead of having to order the same motive 20 times. These CMYK prints get coated afterwards and don't really fit my requirement.

I would be able to print max. (from the canon website):
Canon Pro 100s
(0.1 to 0.6 mm) (up to 93 LB (350 gsm))

Really any recommendation is appreciated kind of browsed the whole web already!!!!! the only requirements that I have it should not have round corners and should have some sturdiness to it so it doesn't crumble when its in delivery.

Thanks.

last did ~PCX52 and had a darkroom. I used ilford MGV and IV, RC, 5x7 for probably 10 exchanges with Ilford postcard paper before that. (I did bring it into the US PO before purchasing 100 sheets boxes, they said fine!) Remember the official US postcards were thin card stock (are?).

I put address, stamp, message on the back and dropped them in the post office. I did a lot of postcards, apart from the exchange, and never had a problem. I love the sometime marks or mangles, stamps and postmarks.

now that digital is possible I'll have to look into what i'll be doing. it probably be some sort of rc type paper.

I am not sure if Moab paper is available in the EU.

If it is consider Moab Entrada. It is a 100% cotton matte paper that comes in two weights (300 gsm and 190 gsm) and two shades of white (bright and natural).

The heavier version would be best for postcards. It is printable on both sides and comes in 5x7 inch (approximately A6) sheets, a good size for postcards.

I don't have a Canon printer so I can't say how it works with your printer. The 300 gsm/natural version of this paper is my standard matte paper for all of my printing on an Epson P800.

P.S. signup for postcard exchange 55 has begun!

Thank you, would the paper be thick/strong enough to send it via post?
