Treasures White Card Stock - 12 x 12 in 80 lb Cover Textured 250 per Package

Treasures Cardstock

Treasures Papers are easy to print on when following these simple hints. It is recommended to pre-test all printing procedures prior to press time to ensure the desired results are achieved.

OFFSET INKS:

Print Treasures like any conventional uncoated paper. We recommend heat resistant, wax free ink if you plan to follow lithography with xerographic or laser printing technologies.

HANDLING:

Keep Treasures products wrapped until the moment of printing. It is essential to let the paper acclimatize, for a minimum of 24 hours – longer during cold weather – in the press room while still wrapped in mill packaging.

Keep Treasures products covered during drying, between passes and prior to any finishing work. Pressroom conditions should be as close as possible to 68 degrees, and 45-60% relative humidity.

VARNISH:

Varnish is optional as a surface protector.

FOLDING AND SCORING:

To properly score Treasures cardstock, use a rounded channel score. It is recommended to use a minimum width of 2.5 times the caliper of the sheet to be scored, plus 28/1000”. Score with the grain using a minimum score width of 1 point, with 2 points preferred. Fold into the bead of the score.

BINDING:

Treasures cardstock is suitable for all standard binding processes. It is important to plan for proper grain direction in all binding applications. Grain direction should run parallel to the spine for optimum results.

LASER AND INKJET GUARANTEED:

Laser and Inkjet guaranteed on 80 lb cover within the limits of restrictions from the printer/copier manufacturer. Darker colors will give poor contrast, so plan for this ahead of time.

OTHER TECHNIQUES:

Thermography, embossing, die cutting and foil stamping work well.
