I'd like to buy a printer and good quality cardstock so I can make at home folded photo cards like the ones I've been buying from Shutterfly and Kodak Gallery.
Situation:
I will produce about 1000 cards per year
I'll mainly use the printer for making photo cards, but I'd also like to be able to print in color on regular 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper
I already have a Laserjet for BW documents
Questions:
1. What printer would you recommend given the volume of cards I plan to make? I'd be willing to spend a bit more on the printer to get higher speed and lower cost per print.
2. What is the best source for good quality A7 folded cardstock? The best I've found so far is Crane 5 "x 7 3/8 " Artist Card 220 gsm - 50 Pack which I found at Vistek. This costs $65 for 50 cards, though, and I'd love to find a lower cost source (I would be glad to buy in bulk.)

Thanks for your help,
