I recently used a tin of $$$ Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl Inkjet paper (it comes in a fancy tin box and costs $18 for only 30 4x6 cards) that printed and mailed very well as normal postcards. They also gus it up with rounded corners but those are quite easy to do with a craft shop corner rounder (thank you scrapbooking ladies...).
But it's so darn expensive! What I like about it is that even though its weight is only 285 gsm -- which is lighter than a lot of other inkjet papers -- it is thick and bulky so it mail better by virtual of being thicker and stiffer.
For example Epson Ultra Premium Glossy Photo Paper is 305 gsm and just flops there like a limp dishrag (prints fine though).
Any suggestions for a less expensive high-bulk inkjet paper with a smooth white surface? Coming precut to 4x6 American postcard size would make it all the better....
