Printer compatibility

This 290gsm pearlescent card is suitable for both home printing and professional print production. It is compatible with inkjet and laser printers that support heavyweight card — please check your printer's maximum supported paper weight before ordering, as compatibility varies between models. For larger quantities or the highest quality results, this card is also well suited to use with a professional print supplier.

For best results with home printing:

• Use a manual or rear feed where available.

• Select a heavyweight card or glossy card media setting — this helps your printer apply the correct amount of ink for the smooth pearlescent surface.

• Print one test sheet before completing a full print run.

• Allow ink to dry fully after printing.

• Note: colours may appear differently on pearlescent stock compared to standard card — a test print is strongly recommended.
