For the best results, we recommend using a specialist print service for hospitality print runs on this dark pearlescent shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this card environmentally friendly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis card is recyclable, biodegradable and acid-free (ISO 9706).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Emperor Red look like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmperor Red is a deep, rich red with a soft pearlescent shimmer. It is a bold, saturated colour that shifts subtly depending on the light and angle of view. Colours may appear differently on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the pearlescent finish on both sides?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both sides have the same smooth pearlescent finish, making it ideal for double-sided printing and projects where the reverse will be visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this paper or card?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is heavyweight 290gsm card. It is substantially thicker and more rigid than standard printer paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I print on it using a home printer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmperor Red is a dark pearlescent shade, which affects home printing in two important ways. First, your printer must physically accept 290gsm card — check the maximum supported media weight in your printer’s specifications. Second, standard inks and toners will show on the dark red surface, but light, pale, or white designs will not be visible without white toner, foil, or specialist printing. Use the manual or rear feed, select the heaviest card media setting, and always test one sheet before printing a full pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I print white onto this card?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost standard inkjet and laser printers cannot print white ink. To achieve white or pale designs on this dark red card, you will need a white toner printer, screen printing, foil blocking, or a specialist digital print service. We recommend contacting a professional print supplier if white or light-coloured printing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for professional printing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This card is well suited to professional print production and can be supplied to a commercial print supplier for offset or digital printing. Its smooth double-sided pearlescent finish reproduces colours beautifully on a professional press. Suitability varies between press technologies — always confirm compatibility with your print supplier before ordering in bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pack size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-sheet pack is ideal for small bespoke projects or limited quantities. The 50-sheet pack suits larger print runs and event stationery projects. The 100-sheet pack is our most popular choice, offering excellent value for regular use. The 250-sheet pack offers the best value per sheet and is ideal for high-volume projects or ongoing use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be folded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Always score the card before folding to achieve a clean, accurate fold and reduce the risk of surface cracking — this is particularly important after toner printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for cutting machines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable for many craft cutters and die-cutting machines that accept 290gsm card. Select settings appropriate for heavyweight smooth card and perform a test cut first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GF Smith","offers":[{"title":"10 Sheets","offer_id":62251559092611,"sku":"A4PC26","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Sheets","offer_id":62251636031875,"sku":"A4PC26X5","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Sheets – Most Popular","offer_id":62251564401027,"sku":"A4PC26X10","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Sheets – Best Value","offer_id":62251616665987,"sku":"A4PC26X25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0476\/4188\/6882\/files\/IMG_8893.jpg?v=1776276506","url":"https:\/\/syntego.co.uk\/products\/emperor-red-pearlescent-a4-card-290gsm","provider":"Syntego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
