FAQs

What is the weight of this cardstock?

The cardstock weighs 160 grams per square meter (gsm), which is considered a premium, heavier weight suitable for crafting and printing.

Can I use this card with a specific printer model?

This card is generally compatible with most laser and inkjet printers. However, it's always best to consult your printer's manual to confirm its maximum supported paper weight.

How many sheets are included in the pack?

Each pack contains 30 sheets of A4 white card.

Is this card suitable for die-cutting?

The 160gsm weight is suitable for basic die-cutting with appropriate machines and blades. For intricate designs, ensure your die-cutting tool can handle this thickness.

Can I paint on this card?

Yes, the card provides a good surface for various media, including acrylic paints and markers, though extensive wet media might cause slight buckling. Gesso can be applied first for a more sealed surface.

Does this card come in other colors?

Rapid offers this card in A4 160gsm in other variants, including black, pastel colors, and assorted bright colors.

Troubleshooting

Paper jams in printer

Ensure the card is correctly aligned in the paper tray. Do not overload the tray. For heavier cardstock, some printers may require manual feeding or use of a specific paper type setting.

Print smudging or poor ink adhesion

Verify your printer settings are appropriate for cardstock or heavier paper types. Allow printed sheets to dry completely before handling.

Cardstock feels damp or warped

Store the cardstock in a dry environment. If already warped, try placing a heavy flat object on top of the stack in a dry location for a period.
