Troubleshooting

Paper jams in the printer

Ensure you are using the manual bypass tray instead of the main paper cassette, and select 'Cardstock' in your printer settings.

Toner or ink smearing

Ensure your printer settings are set to 'Heavy' or 'Cardstock' to allow the printer to adjust heat or ink application intensity.

Paper curling after printing

Reduce the heat setting in the print driver or ensure the paper has been stored in a low-humidity environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 160gsm weight feels professional
  • Versatile compatibility with most home and office printers
  • Attractive pastel color range for better document organization
  • Durable enough for cardmaking and artistic projects

Cons

  • Heavier weight may require specific printer settings
  • Limited to pastel shades rather than vibrant neon colors
  • Pack size may be bulky for infrequent users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, always verify your printer's 'Paper Type' or 'Media Settings' before printing. Because this is 160gsm cardstock, standard 'Plain Paper' settings may cause the printer to feed the sheets too quickly or struggle with toner adhesion.

  1. Printer Setup: Navigate to your printer driver properties and select 'Cardstock', 'Heavy Paper', or 'Thick' mode.
  2. Paper Tray: For thicker stocks, using the manual feed tray (or bypass tray) is recommended to prevent the paper from having to navigate tight curves inside the printer.
  3. Storage: Store the ream in a cool, dry place. Humidity can affect the moisture content of paper, leading to curling or feed issues in laser printers. Always keep the packaging sealed when not in use.
