Making cards, print on what?

By R22, in X-Wing

What card stock do you print home cards on? Or duplicates etc. I'd like to make some and have them feel as close to the FFG stuff as possible.

250 GSM Satin or Silk is a good choice

I have taken images from google and printed them on paper and then laminated them.

I only do this for the items I can not get hold of and when they come in stock I dispose of them.

I also do this for the new pilots so I can playtest them :)

I print on regular paper and then sleeve them with another card, usually a rules card since I have many extras. Great for when you want to create your own rules cards or make up a pilot.
