I want to make a greeting card with photo by myself, and print it. What kind of paper I could choose to print?
Got a tip for us?

Being an avid scrapbooker, I often find myself in this pickle. I'm not quite sure what kind of quality you wanted your image to come out as, but if the quality of the image isn't an issue then printing on regular cardstock seems to work out pretty well because it's not too thick that it won't go through the printer, but its still sturdy enough to hold itself up.
However, if you did want your photograph to be glossy, you could also just print the photo separately from the card on photo paper and the text on cardstock. I'm sure you could print the entire greeting card on photo paper as well.
If all else fails, I agree with plumpan -- Dunder-Mifflin does seem to know their paper selection pretty well. If you do decide to go with Dunder-Mifflin, I'd refer you to Dwight Schrute or Jim Halpert.
