Not for inkjets and NOT 110lb

Posted by: Paula K.
I use 100lb cardstock on products I order from an online print shop. When I wanted to try printing some of these materials in-house I assumed this 110-lb stock would be at least as think as the 100lb stuff I'd been using. No way! It's much thinner; flimsy unprofessional for my purposes easy to bend the corners. Also I used it in a really high-rez inkjet printer but the ink bleeds into the fibers of the cardstock. It does not produce a sharp professional result. Unfortunately I bought the large pack of this stuff so I'm stuck with it for a while. I'm now looking for some real thick inkjet-compatible cardstock elsewhere.
I have used this paper to print business cards on (laser printer). It isn't as thick as I would prefer but it isn't worth specialty store prices to get that little extra thickness. These are a bright white durable card stock paper with a very smooth surface.
I have used this product for cards company brochures portfolio pieces and even resumes! It works great in both my HP Photosmart 8200 and 10 year old HP DeskJet 932C. Great product!
