Best paper to print postcards on the PIXMA PRO-200?

amberpie — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 20:26:20 GMT

I am a brand new owner of the Pixma pro200 and not an expert in any way when it comes to photo printing. I would like to be able to print large 8.5x5.5" postcards by printing two to a page to the edge on 8.5x11 paper. I have two questions:

What kind of paper is best for this? I am looking for probably 110lb glossy or coated cardstock, which I'm having trouble finding.

And also-
How do I print to the edge? When I have tried to set the print settings to borderless when printing a practice document it still prints a border. That document was a PDF file. Not sure if that makes a difference.
