Buy the grade of very light card that can bend enough to go through photocopiers, and just print straight onto the card. Mine is 160 grams per square metre, which is equivalent to 4.86 ounces per square yard. It will happily go through the rollers of a photocopier, or through a computer printer. So I just scan into my computer and print on the light card using my *laser* printer, which is the same technology as a photocopier. Don't do this with an ink jet printer though as the ink isn't suitable for making lace on. -- What boots up must come down.
