I just remembered that I needed to do a search for double sided paper so I can print up some model cards.
The cards are double sided and 5x7 in size. very limited results.

I need to be able to print them on my Canon S9000 since timeliness is an issue. When time is not an issue I can send off to a printer.
I figure I will need to go with 8.5x11 paper, since I have yet to find 5x7 sized inkjet paper.

So far I have only found Epson heavy matte double sided. S041568 is the manufacturer's number.

Does anyone have a better recommendation?

Any comments on this paper?

I would really like a glossy or Satin finish, but could not find any doing a search that are double-sided.

Try Red River. They have a very extensive range.

HP make a glossy brochure and flyer paper 160g/m2
Its a double sided paper and comes in A4.
I'm still experimenting with it at the moment to get the best settings for my 2100 and 1290.

I saw this paper over the weekend. It seemed a bit light weight for what I need it for. Also HP paper and my Canon S9000 inks do not get along at all well. As in the blot, take forever to dry and I get smearing at the tail end.

I will have to check out Red River paper at some point. The problem is I have to order it on line so if I need it in a hurry I am out of luck.

In the meantime it looks like it is Epson double sided for now. I got a box and it worked. I would prefer Satin finish to Matte, but will take what I can get.

Thanks for the responses.
