Craft UK 2256 A4 Card & Envelopes 300 gsm - 10 Pack

I Have been using this card for 4 years on cards and wedding stationery. All of a sudden last month, I was sent card with a completely different texture, this followed for the 3 next orders too. I assumed that the design had changed, which was fine, so I reprinted all of my cards and wedding stationery so that I could advertise the new card that I was being sent. Now I’m being sent the previous card again! I understand that it’s recycled card and can change slightly, but the texture is completely different. This bad review is more to reflect the customer service, rather than the card itself as both textures are lovely. There’s no way of contacting the seller through amazon, and I’ve tried the Craft UK email address provided on their website twice, and have received no reply! I would just like to know which texture I should advertise?! May change my review if I ever receive a reply.

I ordered this card after reading many reviews about the good quality of the card, particularly for printing, which was what I wanted it for. The quality of the card is quite nice and thick but does not work for the purpose of printing.After receiving this item, which came to me unsealed and damaged, I complained to the seller who got back to me to tell me that they would send it out to me again. But after a long time waiting, and a bit more correspondence, the item did not arrive. I queried it but the company were very unhelpful.After trying to print on some of the card sheets which weren't bent and buckled, I found that the quality was pretty poor. It does not state that this card is inkjet printer card, but after so many reviews I still thought the printing would be of good standard.Compared to previous print outs of my artwork on a canvas inkjet paper, there is no comparison.This linen card struggled to feed through my Canon printer and the quality was faded and blurry at best. Definitely would NOT recommend this for people wishing to use it in their printers for prints of their artwork! Thankfully after contacting Amazon I was given a full refund, since I am now left with a pack of card which I cannot use for printing or much else.

It arrived promptly, but only packaged in a grey plastic bag. Since the card itself was in a cellophane wrapper, it was not protected very well in the post: it fell through my letterbox with a loud bang, landing on one corner... which means about 30 sheets got crumpled in one corner, and one side of the cellophane packet split along its entire length, so I had to tape it back together again. 5 sheets on one side also had a small tear halfway along a short edge, where the packet had caught on something in transit.The card is indeed just under 120 gsm - nearer 118 gsm, since 20 sheets (1.25 sq m in total) weigh 148 g - but as one other customer says, it feels more like paper, which I guess means that although it is 120 gsm the structure of the card is less stiff than might be expected?It prints okay in my ink jet printer, feeding one sheet at a time - since my relatively cheap printer habitually pulls multiple pages at once from the paper tray, I'm used to doing this. The ink does not bleed into the paper or smudge, the results are clear.There were 99 sheets in the pack.

This card is supposed to be 250 gsm and is sold as card, not paper; one would expect it therefore to be reasonably stiff, but it is very floppy and not stiff at all. It is also very raggedly cut on one side, and a couple of sheets thus far have creases on them which seem to have been created in the manufacturing process and make for an uneven surface, suitable only for disposal. It looks as one would expect recycled card to look in that it has a lot of greyish blotches on it; that is not a problem for me, as I wanted it for support, but it is not pleasant to look at, and the ragged edge on one side will cause problems if anyone wants to put it in a printer as the ragged edge has loose paper-shreds.

I read the reviews and decided to buy this paper/card as everyone said there were no problems printing on an Inkjet printer.Sadly there is! The card will not feed into my Epson Inkjet printer, at least without being forced hard into the feeder a single sheet at a time. This sort of defeats the intended object of the purpose.This really is sad as it is very nice quality and would have been perfect for what I intended

Quality cardstock that is perfect for using with copic sketch pens. I use this for cardmaking and stamp directly onto the cardstock. I colour in with copic sketch pens and it is the only card I can use that does not bleed. The ink does not run through and show on the back. It is fantastic for wedding cards as it is a pure "brilliant" white colour. Next to my other paper it is really so white compared to my regular white paper it is such great quality and the lovely linen finish on the cardstock is amazing. I used to be a paper representative for a company years ago (in the 1980's) and this was what the printers used to use for wedding invitations. Very good product and really worth buying if you want something that you will not be disappointed with. This is my second time buying this item and I will be back for more when I run out.

The card is a little thinner than other 160gsm card that I have used. The white is very slightly blue, though not as bad as other brands I have used. It seems to work well in my Epson inkjet printer.However, what really fails this card is that the corners are dog-eared. The pack I used had a bend in one of the corners in every sheet. This wasn't a great problem for me, just an irritation, but for some it would certainly be an issue, so if you need absolutely perfect, flat, uncreased and unblemished card, I would suggest you go elsewhere.

This is just what I wanted for making greetings card - particularly Wedding cards so very pleased with bright white colour. Perfect for folding and the sides are equal. 300gsm is just the right thickness for my cards. The hammered effect is just right. However, it is too thick for my printer (Epson XP Series). The packaging leaves a little to be desired, but fortunately this came in a large box with other orders, otherwise I fear it may have been damaged in transit. Overall, very good value.
