Regular playing cards use print press of 110 cards to create 2 decks of 55 cards.
But now there are more and more board games that use other cards standard (FFG size, euro size). So I was wondering if the standard was still 110 cards or if there were other standards.
It's all about what printing press is used. Other than 110 I have heard of 120 and 72 but there are far more and with digital printing more options are opening up all the time.
For example, 72 is dividable by 9, and in pnp, I make pages of 9 cards. So there is a match here.

The goal is to try figuring out an optimal number of cards to fit most press sheet possible. Since game crafters use 72 cards and I do a lot of Print and play, I could try to focus for that number. But if I could find a number that would match for various printer, that would be even better.
