This guide is for crafters, educators, and small businesses needing high-quality black cardstock for projects. The key benefit is its premium 220gsm weight and printer compatibility for professional results. A caveat is that while versatile, it's primarily for static printing and not heavy-duty structural use. This pack contains 30 sheets of A3 black card, ideal for art and craft, card making, posters, and printing invitations or tickets, offering a robust base for various creative and practical applications.

The standard A3 size is 297mm x 420mm (11.7 x 16.5 inches).
Yes, the 220gsm weight is generally suitable for most standard die-cutting machines for crafting purposes.
Yes, most markers and pens work well on this cardstock. For alcohol-based markers, testing on a scrap piece is recommended to check for bleed-through.
While the color is designed to be robust, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time, as with most colored papers. Store finished projects away from direct light for best longevity.
Each pack contains 30 sheets of A3 black card.
This is A3 size, so you would need to print multiple business cards per sheet and cut them down. The 220gsm weight is excellent for professional-feeling business cards.
Check that the paper guides in your printer are set to A3 size and that the card is loaded straight in the tray. Ensure your printer supports A3 paper weight.
Ensure your printer's ink settings are appropriate for cardstock. Allow printed sheets to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before stacking or further handling.
This is likely due to humidity. Store the cardstock flat in a dry environment. If already warped, try placing heavy, flat objects on top of the stack (with protective sheets) in a low-humidity room.
Setup: No setup is required for the cardstock itself. Ensure your printer is loaded correctly with the A3 paper size and that the paper type is set appropriately in your printer settings for optimal results. For best results with inkjet printers, allow printed sheets to dry completely before handling or stacking.
Compatibility: This A3 black card is compatible with standard laser and inkjet printers that support A3 paper size. Always check your printer's specifications for maximum paper weight and thickness (220gsm is within the range for most modern printers).
Care: Store the cardstock flat in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or color degradation. Avoid excessive bending or creasing. Handle with clean hands to prevent fingerprint marks on the black surface.
