FAQs

What is the weight of this cardstock?

The cardstock has a weight of 160 gsm (grams per square meter).

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 70 sheets of A4 sized card.

Can I use this cardstock for die-cutting or embossing?

Yes, the 160gsm weight is generally suitable for most die-cutting and embossing machines, though results may vary based on the complexity of the design and the machine's capabilities.

Is this cardstock suitable for markers or paint?

While designed for printing, the 160gsm weight can handle light applications of markers or gouache. Heavy paints or excessive water may cause warping.

Will this cardstock work with my specific inkjet printer model?

It is compatible with most inkjet printers, but it's recommended to check your printer's manual for maximum paper weight capacity and to perform a test print.

Can I use this for official documents or certificates?

While it offers a premium feel, it's best suited for creative projects rather than official documentation where specific paper types or certifications might be required.

Troubleshooting

Printer Jamming

Ensure the cardstock is loaded correctly and not overfilled in the tray. Check printer settings for appropriate paper weight selection. If jamming persists, try feeding one sheet at a time through the manual feed slot.

Color Fading or Inconsistent Printing

Store paper away from direct light. Ensure printer ink levels are adequate. Clean printer print heads. For inkjet printers, allow printed sheets to dry completely before stacking to prevent smudging.

Paper Not Feeding Correctly

Verify that the paper guides in the printer tray are adjusted correctly to the paper size. Try fanning the edges of the cardstock stack before loading to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Some printers may require manual feed or specific paper type settings for cardstock heavier than standard copy paper.

Setup:

No specific setup is required beyond loading the cardstock into your printer's paper tray or manual feed slot. For best printing results, select the appropriate paper type and thickness setting on your printer, if available. Ensure the paper is placed correctly in the tray to avoid jamming.

Care:

Store the cardstock in its original packaging or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color vibrancy and prevent warping. Avoid exposing the sheets to moisture or extreme temperatures.
