FAQs

What is the difference between this card and regular paper?

This card is significantly thicker and more durable due to its 160gsm weight, providing a more substantial feel and better rigidity compared to standard 80gsm printer paper.

Can I use this card for professional printing services?

While suitable for general printing, professional print shops often have specific stock requirements. It's best to check with your print provider if they accept 160gsm cardstock for their services.

Is the 'snow white' color suitable for all printing?

Yes, the bright white color provides a neutral base that enhances the vibrancy of printed colors and the clarity of text, making it versatile for various applications.

How should I store unused cardstock?

Store the cardstock flat in a cool, dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective sleeve, to prevent moisture damage or warping.

Can I use this card for die-cutting or intricate crafts?

Yes, the cardstock is suitable for most die-cutting machines and intricate crafting. However, always check your specific tool's compatibility with 160gsm material.

What types of pens work best on this cardstock?

Ballpoint pens, gel pens, fine liners, and pigment-based markers generally work very well. Testing markers on a scrap piece is recommended to avoid bleed-through with very wet inks.

Troubleshooting

Printer Jamming

Ensure the cardstock is loaded correctly and is not bent. Do not overload the paper tray. Check printer settings to confirm A4 size and appropriate paper type are selected. If issues persist, try printing one sheet at a time.

Ink Bleed-through or Smudging

While designed for good ink handling, excessive liquid ink from certain markers or printer types might bleed. Use a heavier weight card if this is a consistent problem. Ensure prints are fully dry before handling or stacking.

Uneven Printing or Streaks

Clean your printer's print heads and rollers. Ensure the cardstock surface is free of dust or debris before loading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for the cardstock itself. Simply load it into your printer's paper tray according to your printer's manual, ensuring it is placed flat to avoid jamming.

Compatibility:

  • Printers: Compatible with most standard A4 inkjet and laser printers. Always check your printer's specifications for maximum paper weight support (typically up to 200gsm or higher).
  • Crafting Tools: Works well with scissors, craft knives, punches, glue, and most pens/markers. Test markers on a scrap piece first to check for bleed-through.

Care:

  • Store the cardstock flat in its original packaging or a protective sleeve in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or discoloration.
  • Avoid handling with wet hands to prevent smudges or damage to the surface.
