120g Double Side Inkjet Paper A4 A3 Custom For Invitations And Place Cards
120g Double-Side Inkjet Card Matte Paper – Brief Overview
120g double-side inkjet card matte paper is a lightweight, dual-sided printable cardstock with a smooth, glare-free finish. The 120 gsm weight offers a good balance of stiffness and foldability—sturdy enough for cards and menus, yet flexible enough to crease without cracking. The double-side matte coating allows for edge-to-edge printing on both sides with minimal show-through, making it ideal for invitations, place cards, program sheets, greeting cards, and craft projects. Compatible with both dye and pigment-based inkjet inks, it delivers quick-drying, smudge-resistant results with sharp text and fine detail.

Technical Highlights
-
Dual-Side Matte Microporous Coating: Both sides feature an optimized matte coating that enables instant ink absorption and fixation, eliminating glare and allowing for true double-sided printing without show-through or ink bleeding. The microporous structure provides excellent water and smudge resistance on both printed surfaces.
-
Balanced 120 gsm Card Base: The carefully engineered 120 gsm weight offers an ideal compromise between rigidity and flexibility. It provides enough stiffness for stand-alone cards and menus while remaining easy to score, fold, and crease without cracking—unlike heavier cardstocks.
-
Show-Through Prevention: Despite its lightweight nature, the dual coating and base paper formulation effectively block ink penetration, preventing printed content from showing through to the reverse side. This enables high-density printing on both sides without compromising readability.
-
Universal Ink Compatibility: Engineered for seamless performance with both dye-based and pigment-based inkjet inks. The coating minimizes dot gain and prevents feathering, delivering crisp text, fine lines, and accurate color reproduction on both sides.
-
Post-Printing Friendly: The matte finish accepts handwriting, stamping, and permanent markers after printing—essential for event cards, place cards, and craft applications where customization is needed.
-
Scoring & Die-Cutting Compatible: The paper structure supports light scoring, folding, and die-cutting without fiber tearing or edge fraying, making it suitable for professional finishing and home craft projects alike.
-
Quick-Drying Smudge Resistance: Prints dry rapidly upon ejection, allowing for immediate handling and double-sided printing without waiting. The coating resists rubbing and smudging, even on dense black or color blocks.
FAQ – 120g Double-Sides Inkjet Card Matte Paper
Q1: What should I consider regarding the 120g weight for double-side printing?
120g offers a unique balance, but verify two things:
-
Show-through test: Print a dense image or heavy text on one side and check the reverse. Quality 120g double-side paper should show minimal to no show-through. Lower-quality papers may require lighter ink coverage on the reverse side.
-
Foldability vs. rigidity: 120g is ideal for items that need folding (menus, greeting cards, place cards) without cracking. However, if you need a stiff, stand-alone card that won't bend easily (e.g., postcards sent without envelopes), consider 150g+ cardstock instead.
Q2: How can I verify the "double-side" coating quality before bulk purchase?
Run a simple two-side test:
-
Print full color on both sides: Use high-density images or large black areas on both sides. Look for ink bleeding, feathering, or smudging on either surface.
-
Stack and rub test: After printing both sides, stack multiple sheets and apply light pressure. The coating should not transfer or offset onto adjacent sheets.
-
Handling test: Fold a printed sheet in half. The matte coating should not crack or flake along the fold line.
Q3: What printer compatibility and feeding issues should I watch for?
120g is generally printer-friendly, but confirm the following:
-
Paper path compatibility: Most desktop inkjet printers support paper up to 160g via the rear tray or manual feed. However, bottom-cassette feeders may struggle with 120g double-side coated paper due to surface friction. Check your printer's specification for maximum paper weight.
-
Double-side printing support: Ensure your printer supports automatic duplex printing on matte coated media. Some printers disable duplex for heavier or coated papers.
-
Storage conditions: Matte coatings are hygroscopic (absorb moisture). Store unused paper in sealed original packaging. Paper that absorbs humidity can warp, curl, or cause printer jams, especially during double-side feeding.
