FAQs

Can these cards be used in a home printer?

While the cardstock is high quality, most home printers are not calibrated for dark, heavy cardstock. It is recommended to use calligraphy or manual decoration instead.

What is the weight of the cardstock?

The cards are 220gsm, providing a firm and durable structure for crafting.

Are the envelopes also black?

Yes, this set includes four black cards and four matching black envelopes.

Are these cards safe for archival scrapbooking?

Yes, the materials are acid and lignin-free, making them safe for long-term storage and keepsakes.

What size are these cards?

The cards measure 5 x 7 inches.

Troubleshooting

Ink smearing on the black card surface

Use fast-drying pigment inks or gel pens and allow ample drying time before folding or handling.

Adhesive flap not sticking well

Ensure you are using only a small amount of moisture on the gum; too much water can saturate the paper and weaken the adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required for these cards. To maintain their quality, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the black dye. When sealing, avoid using excessive water on the gummed edge to prevent warping the envelope paper; a light wipe with a damp cloth or a sealing pen is sufficient. These cards are compatible with most standard stationery markers, pigment inks, and adhesive types.
