Product Information

Full details

The ARK Premium Thick Printing Paper (220Gsm) is designed for professionals, educators, and crafters who require a substantial, high-quality base for documents, presentations, and artistic projects. Its primary benefit is a rigid, bleed-resistant surface that offers a premium feel for both text and high-color graphics, though users should note that the substantial thickness may require users to adjust paper path settings on some compact home printers to prevent misfeeds.

FAQs

Can I use this paper in my home inkjet printer?

Yes, it is designed for compatibility with standard inkjet and laser printers, though we recommend using the manual feed tray if your printer has one.

Is this paper acidic?

The ARK cardstock is designed for professional use, offering a clean finish that is suitable for archival-quality documents and portfolios.

Can I print on both sides?

Yes, the matte finish is identical on both sides, making it ideal for double-sided flyers or booklets.

Does the paper bleed when using markers?

The 220gsm weight is highly resistant to bleeding and buckling, making it excellent for use with markers and crafting mediums.

How should I store unused paper?

Store the paper flat in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment to prevent moisture buildup or edge curling.

Troubleshooting

Printer indicates a paper jam or fails to pick up the sheet.

Adjust the printer settings to 'Heavy Cardstock' to slow down the feed speed, or use the manual bypass tray for a flatter paper path.

Colors appear dull or saturated.

Ensure your software's print settings match the document type (e.g., 'Best' or 'High Quality') to optimize ink deposition on thick stock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Heavyweight feel provides a professional, high-end presentation.
  • Excellent resistance to ink bleed and paper buckling.
  • Smooth matte surface prevents glare and improves readability.
  • Reliable compatibility with both Inkjet and Laser technology.

Cons

  • Thicker stock may require manual feed trays on some printers.
  • Higher weight may not be suitable for standard double-sided home printing units.
  • Limited capacity for storage in standard shallow printer paper trays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure that your printer settings are adjusted to reflect the 'Cardstock' or 'Heavyweight' paper type in your print driver menu. This allows the printer to adjust the fuser temperature and paper speed accordingly. To maintain the integrity of the sheets, store the package in a cool, dry place to prevent humidity absorption, which can occasionally lead to feeding issues. When loading, it is recommended to fan the stack lightly to ensure proper separation, especially if using a top-load tray.
