What is the 'Cardamon' designation?

Is this paper suitable for outdoor use?
This paper is best suited for indoor use. Outdoor conditions like wind, moisture, and direct sun can easily damage the paper and affect its appearance.
How do I prevent creases when unrolling the paper?
Unroll the paper slowly and steadily. Ensure the support system is stable and the paper is kept taut as you extend it. Storing it properly on its roll when not in use also helps minimize creases.
Troubleshooting
Paper is creased or wrinkled.
Carefully unroll the paper and let it hang freely for some time. Gentle heat from a hairdryer held at a distance might help minor creases. For significant wrinkles, consider using a fresh section of the roll or a new sheet.
Support system is not holding paper securely.
Ensure the clamps or weight on your support system are adequate. Check that the paper roll is centered on the crossbar and not slipping.
Color appears different than expected.
Ensure your monitor is calibrated correctly. Lighting conditions can significantly affect color perception; test the paper under the intended lighting setup.
Paper is torn at the edges.
Carefully trim the damaged edge or use a bit of clear tape on the underside to prevent further tearing. Use a fresh section of paper if the tear is significant.
