Troubleshooting
Colors are not as expected
The pack contains assorted colors; specific shades may vary. For precise color matching, consider purchasing single-color packs if available.
Cardstock jams printer
Consult your printer's manual for its maximum paper weight capacity. Try using a lower weight paper or print one sheet at a time if possible.
Ink bleeding through
This can occur with markers or wet media. Test your chosen medium on a scrap piece first. Consider using a barrier or thicker cardstock for such applications.
Cardstock is creased upon arrival
Store the pack flat immediately. Minor creases may not affect most craft projects, but significant damage may require using alternative sheets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This card does not require any setup. It is compatible with most standard cutting tools like scissors and craft knives, as well as glue sticks and liquid adhesives. For printing, it's recommended to check your printer's specifications for supported paper weights, as 180gsm is at the upper end for some standard inkjet or laser printers. To care for the card, store it flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping. Handle sheets carefully to avoid creasing or tearing.
