FAQs
What is the exact color of this card?
The card is an ivory color, which is a soft, off-white shade that appears warm and slightly creamy.
Can I use this card with my inkjet printer?
Yes, this card is generally compatible with inkjet printers. However, due to its 300gsm weight, you may need to adjust your printer's settings to accommodate heavy card stock and potentially use the manual feed.
Is this card suitable for wedding invitations?
Absolutely. The premium smooth finish and 300gsm weight make it ideal for creating elegant and durable wedding invitations, menus, and other stationery.
How many sheets are in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 sheets of A4 sized card.
Can I write on this card with a fountain pen?
While the smooth surface is pleasant for writing, fountain pen inks may feather or bleed. It's recommended to test with your specific pen and ink on a small piece before committing to your project.
What is the weight of the card?
The card has a weight of 300gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered a heavy card stock.
How should I store this card stock?
Store the card stock flat in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to maintain its condition and prevent warping.
Troubleshooting
Printer Jamming
Ensure the printer's paper guides are set correctly. Use the manual feed tray if available, and try feeding one sheet at a time. Check printer settings for 'heavy card stock' or '300gsm'.
Ink Smudging
Allow adequate drying time after printing. Ensure printer ink cartridges are not low, which can cause uneven ink distribution. Test with a small sample for compatibility with specific ink types.
Warping
Store the card stock flat in its original packaging or a similar protective sleeve in a climate-controlled environment. Avoid exposure to humidity or extreme temperatures.

- Generous pack size offers good value for projects.
- Ideal for creating custom event stationery.
Cons
- May require manual paper feeding in some printers due to its thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This card stock is ready to use straight from the pack. For printing, ensure your printer is set to handle heavy card stock (typically 300gsm). Consult your printer's manual for specific settings, which may involve selecting a 'heavyweight paper' or 'card stock' option, and potentially using the manual feed tray.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard A4 printers (inkjet and laser), die-cutting machines, embossing tools, and various crafting adhesives. Test compatibility with specific inks, especially fountain pen inks, before committing to a large project.
Care: Store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration. Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or smudges onto the smooth surface.
