Which company produces the best wargaming terrain, intended to be printed on paper/cardstock on your home printer?

Scott Washburn's Paper Terrain.
Hi Scott!! Greetings from Sisyphus!

Agreed, I love Scott's product. But if the definition is terrain to be printed at home, Stoelzels Structures or Dave Graffam Models, both on Wargame Vault

Dave Graffam. I have made tons of hos broken down walls and buildings. Saved a ton of money. (admittedly before 3D printing…)

With RAF's statement about home printing, I have to change my vote to agree with Dave Graffam Models and Stoelzels Structures.

Fat Dragon Games, for fantasy models, along with David Graffam.

I print on regular paper, then I glue that to chipboard. It makes really strong models, with sufficient heft that they don't blow around. They are durable, strong, and with wooden dowel reinforcements, they will not warp.

With the costs of ink and toner being more precious than Gold, you won't save a lot of money with cardstock terrain, but it can be vastly more durable than resin (using chipboard and wooden dowels), and it is a fraction of the weight. My favorite terrain pieces are modular castles which can be expanded as needed: a city wall being besieged.

Best thing about cardstock terrain? No painting… Cheers!

I switched to an ecotank printer several years ago, really brings down the cost of printing

I really like Toshach Miniatures' 10mm Kragensvale Keep (Helm's Deep-ish) model. Original and well designed, and the art work is fantastic— thing looks like real, weathered stone. (And is not a movie clone, either.)

Alas, the designer recently announced the site is closed. Too bad— he had great looking stuff (and not hard to build). Hopefully he'll find a way to bring it back.

To follow-up on Sgt Slag's post, I glue my heavy paper printed walls and roofs to thin foamboard and also use corner reinforcements.

I don't print out anything myself. That's why I prefer Scott's models.
