What is the best kind of paper to buy to print greeting cards w/ an inkjet printer?

I want them to look professional. I bought some inkjet cards from strathford but they are too thin. I would like something heavier and glossy on one side but not sure if something like that exist that is compatible with an inkjet printer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For a normal ink-jet printer you need heavy weight paper from 110 to 180 gramweight. (anything heavier will clog up the printer).
I usually use 100S-180g. white or off-white cardboard for my greeting cards.
For special cards almost any nice looking paper that catches your eye can be used.
(The cardboard that is glossy on one side is too heavy and usually gets “stuck” in the printer (at least the only one I’ve found). Not all papers accept the ink jet ink correctly, on some glossy type papers the ink runs, on others it looks “pale”.
You can replace the glossy cardboard with a heavyweight photographic paper.. Just make sure it’s one with a plain reverse side (some have the brand name printed on the back).
Elephant skin paper (110g.) has a satiny finish and is excellent for cardwork, so are the “marbled” papers…
I often use the pink and blue marbled ones for baby announcements.
I printed my daughters wedding invitations on grey marbled cardboard, and it gave them a very lovely effect. (Most of the marbled papers have matching envelopes).
One that gives good results and looks very elegant is a heavy-weight tracing (vegetable) paper. (the kind architects use).It is a semi-transparent paper, reminds one of parchment. Be careful when folding it, the lesser weight one folds better
I sometimes print my cards on 2 pages…the outer one in cardboard, and the inner page on heavy tracing paper. It looks very smart (also great for wedding menus).
