While this will work, I would suggest 65# "paper", which comes in 8 1/2
x 11, and can be found in most any color or shade from any printer.
Using 65# stock will allow the stock to feed through the printer more
easily, while still providing quite a bit of body. Since most business
card programs like Rockwell provide crop (cut) marks, you can print the
whole sheet, 8 up (8 cards per sheet) spray them and then cut them to
the crop marks, and get at least 6 perfect cards from each sheet.
