Printer & Production Compatibility

Kings Blue is a deep, dark colour — which opens up a different set of creative possibilities compared to lighter pearlescent shades. This paper is compatible with a wide range of printing and finishing methods:

• Office Inkjet & Laser Printers: Light, white, and metallic inks print with striking contrast against the deep navy ground. Use a manual or rear feed tray, select a Glossy Paper or Photo Paper (Glossy) setting at Best/High Quality, and allow inkjet ink to dry fully before handling. The 12″ × 12″ format requires a wide-format or A3+ printer that accepts 305mm-wide media — standard A4-only printers cannot accommodate this width.
• Litho Printing: Suitable for professional litho runs where consistent colour and shimmer finish are required across larger quantities.
• Silk-Screening: The smooth pearlescent surface accepts screen-printed inks cleanly, making it ideal for short-run decorative and stationery applications.
• Letterpress: The 120gsm weight provides enough body for letterpress impression without excessive show-through.
• Hot Foil Stamping: Gold, silver, and coloured foils bond beautifully to the pearlescent surface, creating a luxurious contrast against the deep navy ground.
• Blind Embossing & Die-Stamping: The paper holds embossed and die-stamped detail well at 120gsm, adding tactile dimension to invitations, cards, and packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is 12x12 paper in cm and mm?
12×12 inch paper measures 305mm × 305mm (30.5cm × 30.5cm). This is significantly larger than A4 (210mm × 297mm), giving you more working space for scrapbook layouts, large die cuts, and wide-format designs.

Is this paper double-sided?
Yes. Both sides carry the same Kings Blue pearlescent shimmer finish, so you can use either face in your project without any loss of quality.

Can I print on this paper at home?
Yes, provided your printer accepts 305mm-wide media. Most wide-format and A3+ inkjet printers do. Because Kings Blue is a dark colour, light and white inks produce the best contrast. Use a manual or rear feed tray, select a Glossy Paper or Photo Paper setting at Best/High Quality, and allow ink to dry fully before handling. Standard A4-only printers cannot accommodate the 12″ width.

Is this paper suitable for Cricut and Silhouette machines?
Yes. At 120gsm this paper cuts cleanly with Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker, and Silhouette Cameo machines. Use a standard or medium cutting mat and run a test cut first to dial in the pressure settings for your machine.
