The vortex deck will be made of aristocrat stock correct? I just bought a few decks of the aristocrat 727 banknotes and they seem to be a little bit more stiff than other decks with the same stock. (such as the v6's)
is this because of the finish that was used on the decks?
-
The Banknotes are Air-cushion + Aristocrat. v6 are Magic finish + Aristocrat. Finishes do not affect stiffness or thickness.
In fact, aside from how they feel on the surface, there should be no difference between the Banknotes and the v6's.
The Vortex will be slightly stiffer than the v6's because there is less ink saturation, but it does also use the magic/aristocrat combo.

I'm really hoping the Vortex Deck will be springy, and not very stiff. But its ok if its a little stiff because all it takes is a little use to break it in!

Isn't that statement a bit counterproductive? A stiffer deck would naturally give more spring than a soft deck due to the fact it would want to return to its original shape.

I mean bendy

Um alex, i haven't used the aristocrats but it says linen on the box.

Sweet I like to fan stiff but bendys are nice for springs

Linen and air cushioned are pretty much the same thing from what ive read.
The reason i made this post was because i was breaking in a deck of aristocrats and they were very hard to lepaul spread; as if they were almost to stiff to bend enough to spring for the spread. That experience got me thinking so i opened up a new pack of v6's and they were MUCH easier to lepaul.
Are there different types of aristocrat stock??
-
just check that spread out, and i guess i have already been doing that one with out knowing it. lol i do a lot of things with cards before i see that others already have done it.

Maybe the new backnotes aren't on Aristocrat stock? I mean, just because they're using the brand name...

i guess that could be true.

There is no such thing as Linen finish anymore.
-
Yea i know, but i think it makes more sense to "agree" with what it says on the box to not cause confusion, a lot of people don't know about USPC and their finishes.

what was "linen" finish like when it actually was a finish?

so you are trying to see finish is just how smooth they are?
