FAQs
What projects is this paper best suited for?
This paper is ideal for card making, scrapbooking, paper crafts, school projects, invitations, and decorative elements. Its 70gsm weight is good for general crafting and folding.
Is the paper suitable for heavy embellishments?
The 70gsm weight is adequate for most common embellishments like stickers, light cardstock layers, and glitter. For very heavy items, consider reinforcing the base or using a heavier paper stock.
Can I use this paper with a Cricut or similar cutting machine?
Yes, the paper is compatible with most cutting machines. Ensure you select the correct material setting for lightweight cardstock or paper to achieve clean cuts.
How does the acid-free feature benefit my projects?
Acid-free paper helps prevent the paper from yellowing and becoming brittle over time, preserving the original colour and integrity of your creations, which is especially important for archival projects like scrapbooks.
Is this paper available in other colours?
Yes, Creativ Company offers this solid colour paper in a wide selection of vivid colours.
Can I use this paper for calligraphy or fine-tip markers?
The smooth surface is generally good for markers, but the 70gsm weight means that heavy ink application from markers or fountain pens might bleed through. Testing on a small section is recommended.
What are the dimensions of the paper?
The paper dimensions are A4 size, which is approximately 21 x 29.7 cm (8.27 x 11.69 inches).
Troubleshooting
Paper jams in printer
Ensure the paper is loaded correctly, not overfilled, and that the printer settings match the paper weight (70gsm). Try printing a single sheet first. Clean printer rollers if issues persist.
Glue causing excessive warping
Use adhesives sparingly and apply even pressure. Allow glued areas to dry flat under a heavy object. Consider using a glue stick or double-sided tape for thinner applications.
Colours not matching expected shade
Screen calibration can affect colour perception. The actual paper colour is a consistent, vivid pink as described. Consider ordering a sample if precise colour matching is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
