Looking for a perfect paper for arts and crafts or to create business messaging with professional appeal? Consider black cardstock for future projects. Staples offers multiple varieties of black cardstock to lay the foundation for your unique needs.
What Is Black Cardstock?
Black cardstock is a type of thick paper that can be used for decorative projects. It makes a great base for arts and crafts activities like colorful invitations and scrapbooks, as well as for professional use, like for report covers and business cards.
The thick material ensures that black cardstock paper is a durable choice for any undertaking. Black cardstock paper is available in a variety of different finishes, including: matte, metallic, vellum, smooth and textured.
Additionally, black cardstock is available in letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and legal (8.5 x 14 inches) sizes, along with other common size options such as 11 x 17 inches, 12 x 18 inches, 13 x 19 inches and 12 x 12 inches. With so many different options, you’ll be sure to find exactly what you’re looking for at Staples.
What Is the Difference Between Black Cardstock Paper and Black Construction Paper?
Although black cardstock paper and black construction paper are similar in appearance, the two types of paper are different. Learn more about the two types of paper below:
Black Cardstock Paper
Black cardstock paper is thicker than black construction paper, which means it usually weighs more as well. Due to its thickness,cardstock is not as malleable as black construction paper, which can be easily folded and cut. While both types of paper can be used for creative projects, black cardstock paper is ideal for projects intended to be resistant to bending and tearing.
Black Construction Paper
Unlike black cardstock, which is available in a variety of different finishes ranging from matte to vellum, black construction paper has a more limited range of options available. Typically, it is considered to be textured or smooth.
Black construction paper is a better choice if you’re looking for quick and easy arts and crafts, especially for kids. The material is thinner and easier to fold and cut. Additionally, black construction paper is largely available in only two sizes: letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and legal (8.5 x 14 inches).
Can You Print On Black Cardstock?
Yes, it is possible to print on black cardstock, but due to its dark color and thick material, there are some challenges. Follow these steps to ensure that your black cardstock printing job goes smoothly.
- Prior to printing on black cardstock, ensure that your printer’s settings can accommodate the weight of the paper without jamming. Inkjet printers are the best suited for printing on black cardstock, since they use ink instead of toner.
- Once you’ve found the right printer, purchase a white on black ink cartridge and install it in the printer.
- Be sure when you are filling the paper tray with black cardstock that you don’t put too much in the tray, since the cardstock takes up more space than typical printer paper.
