Balsa Fiber Cardstock – 80# Cover Weight for Natural, Earthy Printing and Crafts

Bring an organic, handcrafted feel to your projects with balsa fiber cardstock, featuring a naturally fibrous texture with an earthy, handmade paper appearance. This 80 lb cover weight cardstock offers twice the thickness of standard printer paper, providing added rigidity and durability for crafting, printing, and professional projects. With 216 gsm and a fairly smooth printable surface, this cardstock works well with most inkjet printers, while laser printers may require a higher temperature or slower speed to fuse the toner properly.

Whether you're designing rustic invitations, eco-friendly posters, or handmade cards, this balsa fiber cardstock combines the charm of handmade paper with the reliability of high-tech paper milling.

• Check the heaviest paper your printer takes. It is in the manual or on the paper tray.
• Set the paper type to Cardstock or Heavy.
• If your printer has a rear or manual tray, feed one sheet at a time from there.
• Print one test sheet before the full run.

Dark ink shows best. Printers do not print white, so light colors fade into the brown.
